It started snowing here Friday night. When I got up yesterday morning, this was the view out my window:

By late morning, there were white-out conditions from my view on the couch:

Looking down at the street:

Our building engineer and his crew kept shoveling the walks all afternoon:

And this morning the sun came out!

I could hear snowplows through the night — they did a great job of clearing out.

Lucy is feeling frisky today, so I gave her an early Christmas gift — a straw ball sent to her from Anne Marie in Philly.

It’s very lightweight and moves well when she bats at it.

And there is a second ball, for when she bats this one under the fridge or something.

Thanks, Anne Marie!
