That block looks great ! I can really see the design stand out now.
Actually, the snow way underperformed the predictions. In our area, they kept calling for 12"-18. I thought, "Oh, maybe 8, they always exaggerate." We got maybe 5. But on top of that a vicious sleeting and big chunky ice blowing every which way. It's quieted down now. Cold, crystally, windy, icky winter mix.
