Nor'easter Snow Day!

While Mike is off wine-touring his way through sunny California, Caroline is stuck (literally) in their apartment!  A Nor'easter storm has covered the entire state of Massachusetts in heaps of snow!  As Caroline was getting ready for work this morning, around 6am she peaked outside to see this...


And this....

After watching the news and hearing more about the weather conditions, she decided to make the supreme sacrifice and work from home for the day (as the 1.5 hour commute would have been at least doubled).  Around 12:30 Caroline ventured out into the snow with her and Mike's friend, Melissa.  The rest of the story is best told in pictures :-)

Same view from the morning picture- just with more snow!

Caroline knee deep in snow!

Caroline's favorite view- on clear days you can see mountains in the background.

Melissa "swimming" in the snow!

Caroline's car, partially uncovered.  Don't worry, she managed to finish the job and cleared off Mike's car too :-)
The snow is still coming down, strong as ever.  It's been constant since early this morning, with 1-2 inches accumulating per hour.  And with that, it's about time for some hot cocoa!
