Snow Day, Round I

 We're having our share of the East Coast blizzard today.  The snow day was called early and so JT and I stayed up late last night playing cards and generally having a big time.  When we crawled into bed, a few flakes had started to fall.  This morning, we woke up to a thick heavy coating of snow.

 

 

JT and I headed outside for a preliminary round of shoveling to clear a path to the front steps and sidewalk.  Another round of snow is expected this afternoon and this half of the storm is expected to bring more snow....perhaps as much as a foot of the white stuff.

But that's no reason not to have some fun now.  We made a snow person (of admittedly little styling) and then JT loaded up a sled with snowballs for a snow ball fight in the backyard. 

 

 

As I write, big heavy flakes are falling and the wind has started to blow.  The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning and that sounds quite menacing.  Fortifications in the form of homemade bread, mushroom soup, and a lovely view from the back window are in our immediate future.
