snow, snow and more snow

Over the holidays, our travel plans worked out perfectly. Todd snuck out of NJ at 7:30 am on Sunday morning. The snow started at 9:30am. The boys and I were to leave on Tuesday at 4pm, just in time for the airports to open up and get caught up with their flights. We did have a 3 hour delay but it beat the 3 and 4-day delays other travelers were stuck with.

Turns out we were part of the epicenter of the storm and my dad measured 27 inches on the patio table, a non-drift zone. The quick snaps below show some of the impact and fun we experienced the day after the storm.

That's real snow, not spray paint on the window

My parent's street, though it looks like a meadow.

The neighbor's house. Notice the front door and the car in the driveway.

My dad and brother shoveled behind the cars for at least 4 hours...

...while the kids played on the hoods of the cars.
