Just a bit of snow

Got just a bit of snow over the weekend, and getting just a bit more now.

I'm sure lots of folks north of me are laughing at how inept Pittsburgh is in dealing with a paltry 20" of snow. But this is a 5 year storm (i.e. a storm that only happens, on average, every 5 years) and the city's infrastructure is really only designed for the average storm. Seems kind of stupid to me, but I only pay a small amount of taxes compared to everyone else, so nobody cares about my opinion.

Anyway, my house looks beautiful covered in snow. Looks like the cover of a christmas card:

Unfortunately, the wet, heavy snow also killed my two large trees. I'll have to see if my homeowner's policy covers this ... hopefully they don't break any more and pull down the neighbor's power line:
