Here is the View, at 4 o’clock yesterday:
Same (mostly) shot, at 7 this morning:
Wow. Two feet, we think. It blew so hard, and drifted so deep, that it’s hard to tell…
Power is out to the whole island (yay, generator!), once again because a transmission line is down. Hubby plowed for 2 1/2 hours this morning, just to reach the end of the driveway…
I’d say we’re going to be home for a while.
More photos tomorrow!
Wow … the whole perspective changes! Angel may be able to have a two storey condo at this rate.
Please stay warm and safe. This weather even making the news here in South Africa! Laura
It’s that whole “New York is the Center of Everything” mentality…so silly!
Angel got to walk around the house with Grandad last night, when it was about six inches deep…she was entranced!
Looks about the same here, though fortunately we have power. Good thing you have a generator! I think you’re right– no one will be going anywhere for a while!
The worst part for Hubby is that we had plans for dinner in Boston tonight…at L’Espallier. First time in over a year that we’d been able to arrange it…
Oh, well…another time!
Stay warm and safe!
WOW! That heavens you have a generator!!

Wouldn’t be without one down here.
When you’re the last house on the power line, you’re the last one fixed when it goes down!
Two feet up here in NH too! It has taken hours over the past two days to plow out. Our lights have stayed on so the generator hasn’t had to go to work. I’m guessing Boston will have to wait so you can stay safe.
We got power back Saturday night, but not before the backup batteries at the substation died, and we lost internet…
We’ll reschedule Boston….
I’ve been checking my inbox waiting for this post. Glad to read that you’re all OK and that your generator is working fine. Tell Angel to be wary of the drifts. I once “lost” my two-year-old nephew in one just off his back porch when he lived in Buffalo, NY. Granted it was only for a few seconds but, much to his parents’ amusement, he had enough time to holler, “Help me, Uncle John!” and for me to reply, “Head for the light!”
We’ve some warm weather coming our way. I hope it heads your way, too.
Buffalo, huh? They know snow up there!
She dug ‘tunnels’ by worming her arms into the drifts, and told me we were going to crawl through them
Whoa! The snow flake delivery fairies were BUSY.
I think they skipped their coffee breaks!
Thanks for the photos. It is amazing!! Sarah posted some from Spencer. The next storm is due in here tonight, rain (YEA) hail, wind, a real spring storm. I’m glad Angel had a walk around the house with her granddad. Keep in touch, please.
We lost internet Saturday night, just as I was coming back to answer comments…by the time it came back, it was the middle of a busy Sunday morning.
Hope you didn’t have any damage yesterday!
You’re 4 o’clock looks like a vacation poster: 7 o’clock looks like a danger-filled episode of Little House on the Prairie. It seems so scary to me with my California girl mentality, but here you are treating it like a minor inconvenience! I’m glad you guys are hunkered down and okay.
The media blows it all out of proportion. It’s a snowstorm. You get prepared, then you ride it out…There will always be accidents, and a few heart-attacks, but you just do what you can to stay safe…
Then, you get to PLAY in it!
Your…good grief.
Happens to all of us. At least when you do it, it’s a momentary lapse, not a lifestyle
Oh, bundle up and stay warm. I hope the power stays on!
The power was out until about 6:30 Saturday night…but the generator worked like a champ!
Glad for the generator!
That’s quite the snowfall. Glad you have a generator.
Me too. And fuel….
Some storm you had there – was thinking of you this morning when they were reporting it on the BBC news. Good to hear you’re all OK and that the generator is working. How’s the snow house coming along?
The snow house got sidelined when Grandad came down with the cold that Angel and I had last week…but she had great fun playing in it, anyway!
Our news keeps telling us how Rhode Island is cut off completely! So glad to hear from you, and hope the worst is over… that last photo is amazing!
I would love to know what they meant by “cut off completely”…Our Island, a very small part of a small state, didn’t have power, but the bridges were only closed for a short while at the height of the storm… The governor asked everyone to stay off the roads on Saturday so the plows could clear, here and in Massachusetts.
The media does tend to exaggerate… still, it was a big storm!
Keep warm and drink wine
Not as much as I’d like, with the Little One running around!
It’s like you’ve been swallowed up! Thank goodness for generators. We finally had ours hard wired into the panel. Definitely have a bass of wine for all of us!
There is nothing like knowing that the gennie will just take over when the power goes out…
A toast to everyone!
It certainly is more snow than any of us wanted. As you say, it is hard to tell how much we actually got because of the drifts….I know it is at least two feet. Thank goodness it is the light stuff.
Ours was only ‘light’ on the top. The first foot (at least) was wet and heavy.
Hope you’re all dug-out, too!
Thanks for the great photos . The storms are all over the BBC UK news- and US blogs I follow. So glad for you that you have a generator. Stay safe and enjoy the snow if you can!
Hyperbole, everywhere, with the reporting…I think the new creedo is,”Just MAKE a Disaster!”
Hubby installed that gennie years ago. When you’re the house at the very end of the power line, you’re the last one fixed when it goes down.
I know that feeling, we are at the end of the line too:)
I am just off to bed and had to make sure you were ok,, what a doozy!!! c
Boy, was it!
Come see the aftermath, now!
Oh my, I’m late so I hope all is still well with you and that you’re keeping warm and safe together
We’re all good here, Tanya!
Amazing!! What does Angel think??
It’s WONDERFUL!
I’d forgotten that small children will stay out in the snow until they turn blue, unless you MAKE them come in the house…
I love love love love love love love those photos. I had to show everyone. Thank you for showing them to me. I will take it that they were meant for me. haha.
I know it isn’t wonderful for you, but it is for me. I just can’t imagine what it must be like.
Yes, the title WAS refering to you
We’ve been lucky this winter – a few big storms, followed by enough rain and warm temps that the snow didn’t hang around long. You know it’s getting close to spring when even the 3-year-old is tired of snow, though!
Wow… that’s a goodly amount of snow. I think you east coasters have been stealing all our snow for the past two years. I’m not sure I mind it very much. Well, maybe a little. I’m getting tired of the gray and rain.
I’d say maybe we got it this year, but last winter was nearly snow-free for us, too…
I’m pretty tired of the grey skies…more rain today.
