Snow Snow Snow

We were in Jersey for pseudo Christmas with the Micioni Family clan at Peter and Beth's on Sat, and no one expected this snowy wrench to be thrown in and to this extent! The news gave us accumulation theories of anywhere from 6" to almost 2 feet on the Jersey Shore.

Christina braved the elements late Saturday night. Her report? Good and pack'able, approx a half foot at that point, tastes like snow, and was freakin' cold outside. Thank god we have an emissary like Christina to herald this vital information.

Michael and Maria's dad went to sleep early on Saturday because they had a date at 4am - going out in the truck and taking care of as many customer's plowing needs as possible. Due to the ice and such, they didn't get as many jobs done as they would have liked by noon. Got back to the house to do our cars before coming inside to thaw out. Christina went out to help Michael and Bernie, and the two of us used the 'Cooper excuse' and stayed inside in the warmth.
Dad did a couple of the neighbors and then our driveway.
View of the backyard. 21" total!
And in New York City.....

Friends of ours playing in Times Square.

Wow, the snow even scared off most the tourists.

It should be like this everyday!

Hope this guy got himself out relatively soon after this picture was taken. Those snow plows push mountains of the white stuff on cars parked on the roads. Alternate side of the street parking? Not today!

New York's STRONGEST - the sanitation department - is on the case.
And Cooper? No pictures as of yet, but will get them taken care of and posted tomorrow! He was fascinated by the white'ness outside the windows, and giggled nonstop when we brought a few snowballs in for him to play with on the tray of his highchair. He even ate some of the white precipitation and loved it. But who are we kidding? This kid loves any sort of "food" that we give him!
