Let it Snow... Some More!

It's been a snowy couple weeks here in Jersey City. By that I mean it's snowed twice in the last week, it hasn't all melted yet (there are even patches that haven't turned gray), and we're supposed to get a few more inches tonight. This is by far the most snow I've seen before Christmas in this area since I moved here seven years ago. It's great!  And we should have known this was coming because we saw this guy in the fall (he was at least 2.5" long and reallllllly fuzzy):

He was well prepared for a snowy winter so I'm expecting lots more white stuff in the coming months.

Snowstorm 05: January 26-27, 2011

Every horizontal surface received a healthy coating of the white stuff.

The old snow was forgotten under the clean, white blanket.

The backyard got a similar treatment.

Erie Street became a thoroughfare for pedestrians toting shovels.

16" of snow transforms a Mustang into SUV proportions.

Car, sidewalk, parking spot, and street all compete for snow removal.

The Big December Snow that dumped 8" of the fluffy stuff on us came right before Christmas and sent shoppers into a panic. Cha Cha seemed unaffected.

Mao Mao has a new favorite spot in the living room: a pillow expertly positioned on the couch arm to prevent Christmas tree attacks. Although the tree is long gone, we can't remove the pillow. Mao Mao would be devastated.

The car looked pretty funny after the storm. Luckily the plow plowed all the snow on the other side of the street and we were able to get our bad-ass ride out Monday morning.

Cha Cha's favorite Christmas memory? Ribbon. Everywhere.

Christmas day we all got together for a family photo. I'm not sure where Mao Mao is.
