my photos aren’t of white stuff behind screens

Jan 26, 2026

My favorite brother — and Perry’s Mom too — both sent photos of their snowfall totals. All I could tell is that there MIGHT be snow behind the fabulous photos of screens inside their windows. I have shared a few snaps from the outside security cameras like the one below, but no photos of window screens on whatifitdid.com!

We all went outside yesterday, and yes, it was COLD.

Hugo LOVES the snow. He loves it so much, in fact, that he had a spit icicle frozen to the side of his face.

The boiler is working perfectly and keeping it toasty inside.

It was such a relief when we got the boiler dialed in just in time for the snow and cold spell. I was worried about it… not gonna’ lie. Perry cleaned off the deck and sidewalk to the yard, and we have a dude coming to clear our driveway today. OH! Perry says “hi.”

How much total snow did we get?

I don’t know for sure, but it was close to a foot in the spots we measured. With the wind, many areas had a drift and others were lower to make a drift. One thing for certain… it was enough. 🙂

Now you know: The “hushed” feeling after a snowfall is due to snow being a great sound absorber. Fresh, fluffy snow absorbs roughly 60% of sound on average, making it comparable to the commercial foams and fibers used inside cars and buildings.
