Schloss Seewald looks very picturesque in its winter coating of snow. Note the damaged Royal Mailbox that the local street plows destroyed. The snow drift in the center is about 36 inches deep (looks like a slight ridge).
I walked the dogs this morning and tested a couple of areas for snow depth, finding that in the undrifted areas that the snow comes up to my knees. That is about 22 inches of snow. Some of the drifts are at least 3 feet high as you can see from the picture of the lawn furniture on our patio:
The back patio furniture - the table height is about 3ft off the ground, so this gives you an idea of how deep the snow drifts are.
One of our royal hounds - Dave - is enjoying his winter walk.
The pile of snow across the street that was created by the snow plow plowing out the driveway of my neighbor.
It is now about 11 AM and the sun is out and the lake effect snow has stopped, for now. The winds have died down from their 30-40mph speed of last night. Thankfully, we have a full stock of food and firewood and electric power. (knock on wood, or touch wood, as the British would say).
Well, I'm going to take advantage of my time off and paint some RSM Austrian dragoons (de Ligne, in green coats) that I have in my que for commission work.
