When Barb Bouwkamp sent me this series of snowy roof photos, she mentioned that she didn't think folks that aren't from around here, really know how much snow we get in the Keweenaw. She likened the snow this year to Siberia and looking at these photos that she snapped on a chilly (but sunny) 7° day, I tend to agree with her.

Barb said she noticed how the snow on the roofs was beginning to look like frosting on a cake, so she decided to go for a walk around Laurium with her camera and get some pictures to share with us here on the Pasty Cam. The photos remind me of the gingerbread houses the kids make at Christmas time.

If the sixth photo looks familiar to you, it might be because we featured an almost identical photo back on February 17, 2004. If you look closely, you'll see a few differences though…kind of like those puzzle games where you have to circle the differences in the photos. How many can YOU find? ;->

WOW! COOL PICS!

Looks-delicious!!!!! Great pics!

Love these pics! The one from 2014 has a street sign. I wonder why it didn't in 2004?

Holy Katoot (as Liz would say)!

Lot's of Winter this season.

Wow! I wonder if at least the porch roofs can hold the snow load for much longer, or if they will begin to collapse?

It looks like the yellow house was also featured in today's slide show...2009.

Mary says: Wow, Alex...good spotting. It is the same yellow house, featured on the same day, back in 2009. You sure pay attention...you get an for today! :-)

And to think, 5 inches of snow makes me nervous!:<

And it rained for forty days and forty nights, except in the Copper Country where it snowed.

What beautiful pictures!! Wish I was back there.

Congratulations, Alex!! That's better than an 'early bird'!;)

That snow reminds me of gingerbread houses and Hansel and
Gretel. Gorgeous!

Awesome!

I have walked these streets many times, summer and winter, and these houses are like old friends. Thanks for sharing, Barb!
