A Snow-filled February

We have received some major snow storms with record snowfalls - may break the record for the amount of snowfall in February. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the month with a big storm coming the exhaust blower on our furnace seized up and the part had to be ordered. We were without a furnace for 3 1/2 days. Luckily, we have space heaters and a gas fireplace (more decorative than for heat). Lia was not shy about being where the warmth was...in front of the fireplace or in front of the space heater.

We survived the furnace-less snowy weekend and still had our Super Bowl party. Our basement is finished and has an electric baseboard heater that kept our guests warm.
The above photo is our deck earlier in the month. We got another couple of inches after this was taken. The weather did warm up for a couple of days and a lot of the snow melted. I didn't get a photo of the snow at its maximum accumulation.
