Snow on the Island

Kelly, Kirby and I were in Montana over the Holidays and have just returned to the island.  The snow accumulation is amazing, more than we have seen in years.  The posted picture is the boardwalk going up the store by  Northstar Cabin.   Note the snow level is equal in height to the hand rails....almost 4 ft above the ground!  Shoveling roofs and plowing snow has become the primary "project" for winter 2011.  Happy New Year
