Snow, Snow, and More Snow!

On monday morning of this week, our landlord’s son, Claudio, was in from Venice and came by to chat and visit with Emily and informed us that any minute now the snow should be starting. I hadn’t checked my weather app in a few days so I had no idea that any snow was headed our way. 10 minutes later some light flurries started and those turned into huge snowflakes. The pictures above are when Brian arrived home at 3pm and it had been snowing a few hours and it was starting to stick. Well, it continued to snow all day and all night and below it what is looked like in the morning when Brian and I went out to the bus stop at 7am.

Then in the early afternoon, after about 28 hours of snowfall, the clouds parted, the sun started shining, and it was absolutely beautiful. The kids and I bundled up and played outside in it for a few hours, until the sun set and then I had to drag them inside kicking and screaming. Claudio said it is unusual to get this much snow in one storm, that it only happens every few years or so. A dusting is usual, 6 inches is not. So we made the most of it this time and the kids are already watching out the window for more snow to come!
