There Is Always a Price to Pay

Today is absolutely gorgeous in Sandpoint North Idaho.  Partly cloudy skies with the crisp clear blue skies one only sees shortly after stormy weather clearing.  The price we are paying in Sandpoint Idaho?

What was already a pretty good task of snow removal has now turned to Snow and ICE removal.  Our weather turned from low 20's and snow to mid 40's and rain within 24 hours.  Ever try snow blowing iced ruts?  

Add to that the fact that due to the amount of snow we have had this year it is becoming more and more difficult to find places to move the snow to.  

Is the beauty of the surrounding snow, covered mountain peaks, streams and rivers flowing between ice covered banks, people snow shoeing on the lake, ice tents for ice fishing in the middle of a lake, and much more worth the extra work???

ASOLUTELY !

Mark I posted a blog last night about our snow storm on Thursday, but after looking at your pictures I don't feel so bad about the 18" of heavy snow that we got.

Fresh newly fallen snow has the glisten of diamonds...it sparkles and shines and its bitter cold has a gentle way of warming hearts - 
I am awed by such magnificence and humbled by such beauty - !!
Enjoy the moments Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint  It is beautiful but can be back braking work in removing snow .  Plus the snow has salt chemicals mixed in it .. We have been very lucky here in Philly this year

I think this is the first year I have become cognizant of the necessity to find places for excess snow.  We don't get snow here in Sacramento, but highways 50 and 80 leading to Nevada from our state, have had that issue.

Mark, I see the real beauty in all that snow.  Being a native California gal I know I just could not deal with all that shoveling.  So pretty however.
