The Big Snow

Over the weekend, much of the East Coast was blanketted in snow. While it is unfortunate that the storm caused a lot of holiday travel difficulties, it was exciting to get some snow that is sticking around for a few days. We were supposed to get a lot of snow on Saturday, but it was still pretty minor on Saturday evening when it was getting dark. Luckily for us, the slow but steady snow continued to fall all through the evening and we woke up to a significant amount of snow. By the time I ventured out Sunday late morning, the roads had been cleared. The main problem people were having was with their cars. Since just about everybody living in this city parks their cars on the street, there was a lot of digging out to be done. The sides of the roads are still a mess today, since there are always one or two cars parked in an area so the plows can't uncover the edges of the roads. Here are a few pictures of the snow on Sunday and out neighbors digging out their cars.

They don't know it yet, but soon the ferrets will be going on a cross-country adventure. For now, they are enjoying their home and hanging out together with each other and with us.
