Winter Wonderland

1st view on Sunday morning

We had our first snowstorm of 2009/2010 winter season, and it was a doozer! 20 inches of snow in 16 hours. The snow started falling around 10 pm on Saturday night, and didn't stop until 3 pm on Sunday. We were up early on Sunday, enjoying the new snow.

Chris can't wait to dig out, so we can drive around and see the snowy sights:

New England is always prepared, so the roads were already plowed. Many stores still didn't open though, as the snow kept falling most of Sunday. There's always Dunkin Donuts of course.

And fortunately, our health club was open (although the pool was closed). So, we were able to get to the gym, and fit our 1 hour bike ride, 1 hour run, and 1 hour strength training session in. Then it was off to breakfast - yum! Chris spent the rest of the afternoon shoveling snow out of Toules outside area, and shoveling out the mailbox, so the mailman could deliver our mail. Our driveway is long, so we pay a neighbor to plow it.

One time a year, Twix, our Siamese cat isn't dying to get outside:

Toules enjoying the snow ruts. He doesn't really like the snow - it's usually too deep for him.

Our poor snow covered bushes:

We were planning on grilling pork chops for dinner, but that idea was nixed.... Pasta instead!
