Your photos are very pretty.
I do like the look of freshly fallen snow, and how clean and bright it makes everything look. It is very pretty when the snow reflects the Christmas lights too.
Yet, we had more than was needed this weekend.
From Friday to Sunday we got a total of about 80 cm. Most of that fell on Saturday when we got over 2 feet (60cm) of snow and it drifted higher in some areas. In addition, when the highway crews plow the street, the show plows push a lot of heavy snow into the apron of the driveway. I was glad I purchased a new larger walk behind snow throwing machine two years ago, though spouse and I still had to shovel some areas. Had I realized how much snow came down overnight and during the morning, I would have gone outside sooner because it is so much easier to remove one feet of snow twice, than two feet of snow once.
