Aftermath

Filed under: Winter — Judy @ 9:02 am

Winter storm Nemo has come and gone now. (sidenote: is it necessary to name winter storms? and silly names at that?) We ended up with about 15 inches on the ground on Saturday and it was so pretty! Very few people were out and about and it was very calm and quiet. Those that were out probably had urgent business because for sure no one would be driving unless it was absolutely necessary. Here are some pictures to give you a sense of the snow we got. Not as much as in the NYC to Boston corridor, but enough to make it a “good” snowstorm.

Heavy snow in the backyard

 

Snowy pines

 

The little crabapple is almost completely covered!

Look! No footprints . . . and no driveway clearing either!

The Heritage birch is heavily weighted to the ground. Thank heavens it is such a flexible tree!

And late in the afternoon, glimpses of blue sky bring promises of the return of the sun.

Sun is approaching

 

I understand some folks lost power in this storm. We did not, but kept warm and cozy inside. How did you fare?
