Mo' Snow, Fo' Sho'


This is a big snowstorm, but here in northern
New Jersey we're supposed to get just 3 to 6 inches
before it all ends later Saturday morning.
  
I took this through the Sunroom window
at about 1:00 in the morning:
The steps go up to our driveway, and are loads of fun in ice and snow.  Not. 

I kind of think we've pretty much hit that 6" mark.
But our snow will be nowhere near the deep depths
predicted for parts of New England,
and for eastern Long Island. 

Our beach house may see 2-feet of snow.
Of course here's the question:
If snow falls around an empty house,
and there's no one there to shovel it . . . does it matter?

 The dogs were extra lazy and cuddly today.

Gilda, snuggled up against me.
"Mom has such nice pillows."

Dylan, wishing Gilda hadn't gotten the coveted spot
on Mom's lap; he's wondering if it's worth nudging her off. 

And now, it's time for bed.
Dylan, Gilda, and I are sleepy and have decided 
that the snow can fall without us watching it.

From about 7:00, earlier in the evening,
with just a few inches of snow:
Yes, I stuck my head and camera out the door.
Chairs down!  Chairs down!

To all in the path of this winter storm, and especially
our family and friends in New England and on Long Island,
good luck, be safe,and break out the popcorn and old movies.
