I just finished shoveling off the deck which measured 11 1/2" of snow. It took just over an hour and normally I can shovel it off in under 30 minutes. This storm started with freezing rain, then rain snow mix and then snow. It was especially heavy and with the ice base it was hard to shovel. The first day of Autumn isn't until 9/22, but it appears we may have skipped that season this year. I don't think the colors will change this year as it was 17 degrees over night and all the aspen leaves are that dark green from being rained upon and then frozen.
My potato plant is also frozen and if the ground froze the potato's probably froze too. Late summer snow storm here in the mountains and our weather is always uncertain. This could be a harsh winter or we might not see snow like this until February. That is why we need to always be prepared for what ever comes our way.
