The first big snowstrom (for a second time!)

I have survived snowstorms in MA before (years ago) but it is always… interesting to wake up surrounded by a foot of snow. Of course it helps to reside in an apartment. The best thing about living in an apartment is the sense of freedom. The second best is that I do not have to clear driveways and sidewalks of all the snow!

The snowfall probably started after 1:00 am and it accumulated very quickly. By 9:00 am Reading was transformed to a winter wonderland. A cold one though; The temperature was around –5C throughout the day.

The snow was the kind of dry, fluffy snow that you cannot even use for a snowball fight, or to make a snowman (though we tried!) and it kept falling until about 1:00 pm. The maintenance people here were clearing the side walks and the snow ploughs were pushing snow out of the way for most of the day.

Everything was buried pretty deep. The Jeep is very useful during winter in MA!
