The local tv reporters love a big snowstorm, they get to drive around town on mostly deserted streets telling you how awful it is.   It’s news, and most everyone is home watching, so that they will know how soon life can get back to normal.   This weekend they predicted one, and it followed the script.   It was warm and lovely on Saturday (perfect dog-walking weather), then it started snowing on Sunday, and it kept on snowing all day on Monday and into Tuesday morning.

I sort of like them when I don’t have anything important to do (not that I have anything important to do now).   Everything gets covered in a fresh clean blanket of white, transforming the familiar landscape into a mysterious place.   I’ve laid in supplies, so let it snow!

I took this photo at midnight.   I’m not using a flash or photoshop, it was just that bright from the snow reflections.

I love the patterns made by the rabbit tracks, they’re taking advantage of the shoveled areas.

And there sits said rabbit, enjoying a bit of sunshine at last.

I decided to try and dig out my car from it’s thick blanket of snow.   I measured 15 inches in the back yard, and of course our street has not been plowed.    Someone, (Miss P) is extremely bored and ready to resume the daily walk, and perhaps we will be able to do this later today.
