You may have heard that the East Coast was walloped with a snowstorm this weekend. As a Wisconsinite, the sound of snowplows scraping the pavement and snowblowers bustling down the blocks made me feel happily at home. I had a great time watching the snow from indoors, while writing and reading and making cookies. But I did venture outside–I had to see the record-breaking snow for myself! Here are some scenes from the city during and after the snow:

Sledding!
Great pics! I especially liked the one of all the people building snowmen – very cool 🙂
That park always has a “snowman showdown” with the first snow of the year–people had been waiting a long time to get outside and build stuff in the snow. 🙂
