After the Blizzard

We had the blizzard with 50-60 mph winds for most of the day yesterday and through the night but woke up to bright sun and a temp. of zero this morning. The only real drift we have is this one at our front steps! I think ours all blew south! Bill's mom though has a 5' drift all along the south side (front) of her house! Bill is there moving snow now.

Our normally burgundy porch swing is all white.







The screened porch has some snow in it but you can see that the field beyond is pretty bare. The wind just really blows it out here in the open. Yesterday all of the screens of the porch and our other windows on every side had snow plastered on them.



I made thumbprint cookies last night. They were kind of a pain to make with rolling into balls, rolling in egg white and then nuts. We decided they're much better without the nuts so that would save a lot of time and mess. Will make a note on my recipe. This is one that I have maybe never made but had them years ago and thought they were good.
