Our First Winter Storm

So the snow came and went....for now! They named it Storm Alexander...BUT we are expecting another storm this weekend. The weatherman (the only person I know of who keeps his job even if he is wrong) said we are expected to get 5 to 8 inches and I think some parts of Connecticut got up to 14 inches. Getting home last night was a nightmare. Thank goodness we have 4 wheel drive...I picked my husband up from work and let him drive home. From my job to his it normally takes me 15 minutes, last night it took me 45 minutes...



I have been carrying around my camera wherever I go, here are a couple of pics...


Those red dots are the cars sitting on the highway...we got off on an exit so we didn'ty have sit in the traffic like the rest of the fools....



That is my hubby cleaning the snow off the windshield as we waited to move on the off ramp.

It's Coming..Ugh..

The snow is coming, I can smell it in the air. No, I don't have dog like senses! When I let my cat out this morning there was a crispness in the air and that classic "it's going to snow smell". It is one of those things you just can't explain.

So we are expected to get up to 8 inches here in Connecticut. It will average out to be about 1 inch an hour. That is a lot of freakin snow!! So if the weather man is correct and it doesn't not warm up, it could possibly be a white Christmas this year.

My landlord just installed new landscape lighting, atleast we had one day well, night, to use it! It will surely look pretty glowing through all the snow!
