Snow all around

As last year snow got almost forgotten, then this season it looks that winter has decided to learn from mistakes and throw down as much snow as possible already in the beginning. So during the weekend we got just fantastic snow storm! It was nice to watch it through the window. Kaido thought that it looks so nice that he could go out for some jogging... I stayed at home and checked the time to see for how long he survives :) Well, time was impressive and well above my expectations: 1 hour, but to be honest that included also going to shop :) Anyhow, soon it became quite impossible to watch the storm as windows became like this:


By that our storm experience was not over: just by the time when it became dark our electricity went out! In our house no electricity means also no heating, no internet, no TV, no radio news, no hot food (not talking about having some tea), no lights (of course), no hot water and refrigerator turning into useless leaking box. In fact, we didn't have any water at all as obviously water pump house also had electricity outage. The water at least returned by next morning, but electricity outage continued for 31 hour. So we had 2 romantic evenings in candle light and with fireplace. At least we found out that our fireplace is not only nice to look at, but it is also sufficient to heat the house if the outside temperature is around -2°C. We still don't know what would happen with -20°C, but that, I guess, we'll find out some time in future. Anyhow, our first extreme experience in our house is over, and it wasn't that bad at all :))
The nature was so beautiful the next day! This is an early morning after the storm, view from the window (it's nice to have large windows...):


Snow piles in some places were taller than Hanna (and Hanna is now around 72cm, not taking into account boots and clothes):
