Real winter has come to Bend

Our house

Since mid December we have received well over 50 inches of snow here in Bend.  It has been cold, so most of it is still here.  We will be digging out until spring.  In the mean time, if I ignore the ice dams and other structural issues, it is beautiful and so peaceful.  I did move here for four seasons, right?
