As you can tell, Meg had a thrilling time playing with the snow. It's a first for all of us, playing with freshly made snow as it's falling. I've been to places with snow before, but they're usually already on the ground, and hardened. This was a lovely experience and we had to trudge through shin deep snow by evening time, after it had snowed for about 6 hours non-stop. The total amount of snow we got in the end was 12 inches deep and the snow ploughs were out in full force clearing the dangerously slippery roads all night. The day after is quite lovely too. The sun is out and the snow's melting, so it's almost like a second rain, where the water's dripping from tree branches and other surfaces.
My friend Jacq taught me how to make a snow angel by lying on the snow (and having to suffer the falling snow on one's face) and flapping one's hands and legs, in wind-screen wiper style and that creates the wings and the robe of the angel. It's looks great if done well, really like one!
The little rascal decided to check out for herself what falling snow tastes like...
...and couldn't get enough of it. I told her her tongue would freeze if she continued to do that...hahaha. Actually I did it too and if you're ever thirsty, that's an alternative source of water! It tastes nice and fresh, never mind the pollution it picks up on its way down!
Feeling excited about the snow storm...
...which slowly gave way to suddenly realising how cold it had gotten...
Ok this is the first picture of me on this blog. I've made it a point not to include any of myself, but MJ insisted that I put this one in, cos it really shows how hard the snow was falling. Ok..just this once.
Traffic was gridlocked and drivers were sounding their car horns incessantly, like that helps! Shops closed early, classes were cancelled and the city practically came to a standstill. Today, the city officials are meeting to address the poor measures in place to handle a snow storm like yesterday's and to see how they can better manage future recurrences...I was like, huh, doesn't this happen every year? There should be an SOP by now and this should be a norm, something to be expected every winter?!!?
Trying to shoot stuff other than ourselves. The tudor styled building you see in the background is a clock tower that's a landmark in Coolidge Corner, near where we live.
