Snow Day!

We had our first snow storm of the season over night.  Not a bad one - they had predicted 1-3 inches and we ended up with about 4-5 inches instead



So, I get to work from home - cozy in my pajamas and slippers, sipping tea (not that that's any different from the other 3-4 days a week that I normally work from home).

But Brian is off today - so he's shoveling out.  And we found some teens who for $10 are clearing the heavy, wet mounds of snow left by the plow at the end of our driveway.

Children can be so useful.

It's our first winter with Eddie and Patsy - so we've not had any snow experience with them.  But I'll let the photo speak for itself - we can hardly keep them in.

It's beautiful. I've never lived anywhere that it snows - it looks romantic but I can imagine serious downsides to all that prettiness. My exposure is limited to the occasional skiing holiday.

Awww, your neighborhood looks so beautiful and quiet. Just perfect.

We're getting 50+ mph winds here as the midwest blizzard blows north of us. Better them than us.

The dogs do love the snow!
My parents Shepard used to snap at snowflakes!

Lovely house and yard DuPree. Eddie and Patsy look like they are in heaven, as it should be.

Dogs, like their wolf ancestors love the snow.

All we got was about 2" of slush. Heavy as all hell but easy to to just push out of the way.

That's been the weather pattern of late in the northeast for the past few years.
