So we got about an inch of snow overnight, coupled with a lot of wind. The drive to get the older 3 kids to school this morning was a bit of a challenge, but it wasn't horrible. What could normally be done in maybe 40 minutes took closer to an hour, but I took my time and didn't rush it.

Then we took off to deliver the popcorn that Alex sold for Scouts....

So that was our first snowpocalypse of the season. I'm sure that there will be many more with the way that the local media hypes up every single snowflake that may or may not fall. This one was actually a little worse than I expected, but it still wasn't much as far as I was concerned. It's going to be back up closer to 50 degrees tomorrow, so it's all going to be gone anyway....but I did hear a rumor that we might get some more snow on Christmas Day. I'll believe it when I see it though.
I'd swear you came to my neck of the woods to take those pix! Looks like my home sweet home!
ReplyDeleteLOL I do believe that we got hit by the same storm system, didn't we? How much did you guys end up getting?
DeleteI love the picture of the train. Emry would just die! We have the NJ Transit trains close to the house, but not enough that we ever see them.

Early Merry Christmas to you!
Cripes, it wouldn't be a day in my life if I didn't get stuck by a train in this town! My kids love them. I love to look at the graffiti on them as they go by too.
DeleteAnd a very Merry Christmas to you as well!
ENJOYED ALL OF THEM. GRANNY BUT OFCOURSE THE LITTLE ONE WAS SO SWEET. GRANNY
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteBeautiful Pictures....
ReplyDeleteSad to see the poor flowers though!
Is that typical for where you are??
Pretty much. We usually only get a couple of inches (max) at a time. One time last winter (I think it was last winter) we actually got a foot, but that was the first time in the 14 years that I had lived here that we ever got that much.
