December 2016 Winter Storm Warnings: (13 Photos)

13. As mentioned in my December ATV run post Winter has been slow to arrive to the Avalon Peninsula this year. Mild temperatures were present throughout November and we were a week into December before the thermometer finally dropped below 0ºC so the ground could freeze.

12. Once temperatures finally dropped we immediately started seeing accumulating snow. My Honda 9/28 was ready and rearing to go and made quick work of each storm.

8. Some of the storms were accompanied by high winds which drifted the snow. This keeps a lot of our long driveway generally clear of snow, however this storm in the middle of the month arrived with very little wind and packed the entire driveway full.

7. One of the boys were out of town on the very week we had two significant storms so I lent a hand by clearing the driveway before it froze into one solid mess.

5. Of course as is the norm here on the East Coast, just as we got a great base mother nature warmed things up and dumped enough rain to make away with pretty well all of our snow.

4. No worries, the following week we were dumped on once again.

2. Just in time for a white Christmas!

1. At least we ended the year with some snow on the ground, hopefully it stays cold and we get a good base to cover suspension bending rocks and stumps!
