We hiked up to the cliffs below Little Wolf Peak in early March.  Though it was nearly 60 degrees outside, there were still a couple inches of snow on the ground and massive ice formations on the cliffs.

We encountered some of the largest icicles we’ve ever seen.  Many were over 10 feet long and [...]

We woke up to an inch of snow Saturday morning, so we went for a long hike out back.  Good thing we got out early because most of the snow had melted by noon.

Theresa and Shadow can’t help but smile while hiking through the pretty snow.

The adventures of Darby and Shadow continue!  Watch as Darby tries to hop through the deep snow in our back yard.  That “little wood bone” you see sticking up from the snow when Darby first stops is the grave marker from our last dog, Peanut.

We enjoyed a nice hike to a pretty waterfall with my Uncle Mike in Big Canoe, Georgia.  A rare snowfall (apparently it snows there only once or twice each year) made the hike even more special.

Every winter in Northern Kentucky we get at least one week of very cold weather, which freezes our pond so we can ice skate and play broomball.  And this winter was no exception, as we’ve been in a deep freeze since before New Years Eve.

Theresa is shoveling snow off the ice on the pond.  Note [...]

The water vapor exhaust from our central heat dripped to create this 8” tall stalagmite ice, which I like to call “stalagmice.”  It’s hard to see in the photo, but there are two little ice bumps at the base of this stalagmice, creating a rather *ahem* interesting ice sculpture.

We got another 3” snow on top of our 2” base. 

Darby runs through a puffy snow that stuck to everything and transformed the world into a winter wonderland.

We woke up to 2” wet snow that stuck to the trees and produced this beautiful scene in our front yard:

We were hosting a Christmas turkey dinner for 15 people that afternoon.  Fortunately, in typical northern-Kentucky fashion, most of the snow melted within just a few hours.
Here’s another look at the pretty snow in [...]

A foot of snow on top of a half-inch of ice made our driveway unpassable for a few days.  The heavy ice coat caused about two dozen trees to lean or fall and block the driveway.

A massive ice storm has hit the state of Kentucky.  We missed the brunt of the storm and received only about 1/2” of ice covered by about a foot of snow.  This was enough to coat all the trees and cause some damage, but nowhere near as bad as in the western part of the [...]
