The Groundhog Winter

In the classic movie Groundhog Day Bill Murray wakes up again and again to the same day, one which features a blizzard that makes escape impossible.

We've been feeling a bit like that lately, with February recently having been declared the snowiest month "ever".  

Another day - or is it the same day? - waking up to more snow.

The arbor vitae tree in the front yard has finally given up hope and has just laid down to die.

By the way, the blue flag seen in the distance is a golf flag.  Our neighbor keeps a little putting green there.  Now it seems like a cruel taunt.

Will spring ever come?  Will we soon enjoy side yard cocktail hour on the picnic table?

The picnic table today.
