in the eye of the storm
First real snow storm of the season, and what do we do? Go out to meet it, that's what! Flurries started around 11 am on Saturday as we cruised along 80 West towards Pennsylvania. We were determined to have one hell of a snowy weekend, damnit! On the radio: "an inch an hour", "steady snowfall until Sunday morning", "snow advisory - stay indoors and don't go out if you have to!" etc. We only hoped we wouldn't have to look for our car under the snow the next day, or worse get stuck on the highway spinning out of control. On the east side of the highway, the snow plough patrol were out in full force; about a dozen trucks with their yellow lights blinking in the darkening afternoon were lined up and ready to clear the roadways.
Welcome to the Poconos
Snowy evening
A glorious Sunday with 2 feet of snow prefect for sleding
Down the hill
Having fun is hard work
Who said only the kids can have fun?
Did you ever have to dig to get INTO your house? Well, two feet of snow greeted us as we got home to a buried driveway and steps
Dig into it man!
