Eighteen inches and counting. At least one piñon has a major branch broken beneath the weight of it. I've cleaned off three of the trees, but there are many more to go. Unfortunately, even when you're as tall as I am, when the snow is still up to your knees (and getting inside your knee-high waterproof boots), It's incredibly laborious. You have to stop to rest and dry off periodically.

Oh, and it'll all be ice tomorrow, natch. Winds today; single digits tonight.

Everything will be late today, obviously.
