This page begins with an advertisement which we hope entices you to purchase our only 2018 print calendar. Then we go to November 12th and 13th and our first real snowstorm of the winter 2017-18 season. After that, we jump to November 26th and even more snow. Every photo on this page was taken at home.

| Our Only 2018 Print Edition Calendar |
Here are three shots which show various aspects of the only 2018 PRINT EDITION Calendar that we've made. This is available now, the Amazon link to it is HERE.
This calendar is available only with USA Holidays. Of course it can be ordered through your local bookstore, just go to the Amazon link, write down the ISBN number and ask your local bookstore to order it for you. If you prefer not to look at Amazon, the ISBN is 978-0-9969810-5-7.
HERE is a PDF file which shows what this calendar will look like when hanging on your wall (new window). It is 1.3 MB in size. It's COMPLETE, but Watermarked, secured against printing, reduced in size to 3.95 inches in width and PDF'd at the VERY lowest possible quality - all in an attempt to prevent theft. I suggest that you right click on the link and select "Save Link As". Then after it's downloaded to your Hard Drive in a place where you can find it again, open it in Adobe Reader - version 9 or later (very important - it most likely will not
open in a version earlier than 9).

We started getting snow on around October 26th, but at that time it was wet and even mixed with rain at times. Then, on November 11th and 12th it snowed quite a bit - around 6 - 8 inches (15 - 20 cm). In the first photo in this row, taken at 8:52 PM on the 12th, you see the garden spot and you can see the snow falling. In the center photo you can see that a small part of the driveway has been shoveled. In the third photo those rounds of birch lying on the ground are about 15 inches in diameter, so the snow is getting pretty deep already.

The three photos in this row show our pickup truck covered with new snow and then a 2-shot panorama of the garden spot and driveway. The third shot shows the driveway, and you can know, by the lack of a pile of snow beside the driveway in the area beyond the shoveled area, that this is the first time it's being shoveled this winter.

Here are two more shots which were taken at around 9:00 PM on the 12th of November. The third shot was taken at 11:01 AM on the 13th - the snow has stopped falling, at least for a while.

The first shot here shows how much snow has piled up on the suet bird feeder. The second shot shows those same 15 inch rounds of birch firewood as shown above and the third shot shows the garden spot that was filled with great food a month and one-half ago.

Here is a shot of the house - quite a bit of snow already on the roof. Kazuya is sweeping the snow off the porch. The second shot shows what came in a box from a friend. This was a Halloween present from Northeastern Oregon.

Now it's November 26th and the driveway has been shoveled in its entirety three times already. We've had 29.3 inches (74.4 cm) of snow so far in November, up from the average of 23.3 inches (59.2 cm) by this date. Last year we'd only had 4.4 inches (11.2 cm) by this date. At this time our November is the 8th snowiest on record in the past 100 years. If we get another 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) by the end of the month, we'll move to the 7th snowiest November on record for the past 100 years. The first image in this row is a 2-shot panorama taken at 12:06 PM, the sun is not going to get much higher than this. The second shot shows the garden spot and the third shot shows the driveway after being shoveled by hand that third time.

The first shot in this row is a 2-shot vertical panorama which shows the sun reflecting off our southeast window and also shining in the trees. The second shot shows the depth of the snow on a tree branch on our property and the third shot shows the sun shining through the trees.

Here are two shots of our road. The first one is looking south and the second one is looking north. The closest mailbox is ours. Due to mail-theft problems we do not get mail to this address other than junk mail.
