Blizzard on Weekend One

For the past little while, I have been designing a small cabin. It has been a lot of fun and a learning experience as well. This past weekend the plan was to go up to the property, cut down some unhealthy trees and do an overall layout. I brought my brother up to help out. Upon arriving, the weather was beautiful. There were a few snow drifts here and there from the passing season but overall we were ready to get to work. We worked for a few hours until it started to get dark. We decided to set up camp have a fire and take a load off.

At about nine o’clock the snow started coming down. It was light but showed signs of accumulation. The plan for the next day was to cut down a few more trees and then do the layout. This did not happen.

The next morning there was six or so inches of snow on the ground and still piling. We still managed to get some work done but opted to leave a little early to make sure we could actually get off the mountain. The schedule is already on a delay but, of course, these types of things are to be expected and I am sure it won’t be the last. I’ll be back up the first week of June to see if I can catch up.
