Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Long Island winters are always interesting. This one has been no exception. Flowers blooming in January, a deep freeze in February and today a winter storm. On Long Island this generally means snow turning to rain. They are predicting less than an inch before the changeover happens. But of course one never knows what may happen, especially the weatherman. we'll just have to wait and see.

We have had less than a total of an inch of snow all winter. So far I have not had to get my shovel out once. Emma would like some snow. I have to admit the kid in me would like to see some too.

Six hours away from us it is a different story completely. It has made national news for a week. If you want to see some incredible pictures, check out this site:
