Winter Storm Ezekiel

Wind Chimes

Winter Storm Ezekiel dropped three feet of snow on the town of New Ipswich from December 2nd till December 3rd 2019.

I awoke to find that snow blocked the kitchen storm door. However I was able to squeeze out the front door. I dug paths to the kitchen door, the bird feeders, the oil fill tube, the driveway and the snowblower.

The snow continued for a second day, filling in my paths and adding an additional 18 inches of powder. To add insult to injury, the snow load collapsed the utility tent which housed my lawnmower and snow blower. As a result of this mishap, I had the chore of digging out my snow blower.

I spent several hours removing snow around our cars, but hired someone to deal with the rest of the driveway,

By way of contrast, just a week later we had two days of unseasonably warm temperatures with rain. Some but not all of snow disappeared. I finally got the chance to inspect what remained of my utility tent.
