first snow of the year!

and what a doozey it was.. seemed to catch everyone by surprise, leaving downed trees, super slippery conditions and tens-of-thousands without power, some for days.. aside from my drive home on sunday, we were more fortunate, not losing electricity at all, and having a pretty good snow day on monday, to boot!

sunday morning..

afternoon..

and evening.

monday morning. all done, except for the shoveling. and collecting our van from the bottom of the road where i had to leave it and walk the last bit home. that was at 5:15pm sunday night, and already the snow had drifted to over knee deep in some parts.

good times!
