Mary and I spent the holiday in Roscommon this year. We had known it was going to snow a bit. As we were driving up it started a snowing and by the time we arrived it was almost impossible to see ten feet in front of the truck. We passed two rollovers on I-75 and the driving was tough.
I got up Thankgiving morning and started clearing the snow off the drive. I knew it would get covered again as it was still snowing but you got to keep ahead of it.

We went for a walk later, down by the river and it was still snowing. This is Mary braving the elements, with the river passing in the rear. I would have loved to have been in a kayak and on the river but it was not to be this weekend..

This is a little pond next to the river. It was just pretty and I took a picture of it. This lot was for sale last year. 340 ft on the river with a private pond on it. I wish I was rich as I would have bought it.

This is a shot I took at night from the doorwall. It was pretty dark and I had to photoshop it a bit to lighten it up.

It is deer season and we saw no deer until last night. There were eight out there but I did not take any pictures of them.
The temp did not get above 20 degrees F and was usually around ten. Yesterday morning when I got up it was Zero and stayed that way all morning. It warmed up a bit today though and I figure the snow will be all gone in a day or so.
The river will be very high next weekend and I think I might try kayaking it then. Mary will be staying home and I might do it alone this time
We ended up with around 10 inches of snow before it was over.
