The day after the storm

On Saturday, much of the East Coast got slammed with a whole lot of snow.  Here in our little neck of the woods, we got about 16 inches . . . just a bit shy of the 20 that were forecast.  Today was a beautiful day . . . wall to wall sunshine and untouched snow as far as the eye could see.  I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take pictures of the scenery, and of course, I just had to share it.  (You can click on the collages to see bigger versions.)

To put things in perspective, here’s our 30 gallon metal trashcan . . . almost completely buried.

This first set of pics was taken at around 7:30 this morning, just at the very end of the sunrise.

Once the sun was fully out, around 10ish, I took more pics.

Our neighbors have a Christmas tree farm, so picturesque all covered in snow.  The big tree in the middle is in our yard.  I just thought it looked like the perfect Christmas tree.

This last collage was taken about an before sundown, and it’s my favorite set.

One final picture . . . check out the thin shelf of snow, just hanging out over the play castle.  How cool is that?!
