Snow storm

Linsey's boots in the snow.
At dinner enjoying a beer and keeping warm next to a fire (not pictured).
Inside the place we ate dinner; a nice little Irish pub.
Getting ready to leave the pub and go out in the snow.
Standing in the middle of State Street, not another soul around.
Enjoying the snow.
The flakes look nice in the flash.

A quick stop by Jason and Henry.


The Northeast got hit with a large snow storm tonight (Thursday). 
From 1 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (the time as I type) it snowed about seven inches -- and it continues.
They say we could get as much as 10 inches.

I've always loved big snow storms like this. An added burden in our situation, though, is the Newburyport parking ban. Anytime a snow storm hits, the city prohibits parking on the streets, forcing all vehicles to driveways or, in our case, to the municipal parking lots. That means Linsey and I park about six blocks from the house and must walk home through snowy conditions. It isn't totally horrible, but can be disheartening after a long day of work.

I hate to admit it, but that looks really cool.

I love that pub. Stephen remember when you went with Uncle Bill and I to the Green Spot? Well that one blows the Green spot in the dirt. Plus I would have loved to walk home in the snow. How romantic.

While you were there I was in North Carolina, sitting on the deck with shorts and a t-shirt drinking wine with uncle Bill, and wishing it would start to cool down so it would feel like winter. :(

-Great pictures
-What a cool little pub, is it far from your house?
-Snowflakes in the flash look sweet.
-Nice boots, Linsey. Also the cowgirl boots are rockin
-When it snows, why don't you just ride a bike so you don't have to park so far away?

-- The pub is about two blocks away.
-- Bikes are difficult to ride on snow filled streets.
