A foot of snow in 12 hours!

Well, we had a huge noreaster hit us yesterday. It snowed from 11am-midnight and we got a foot or more of snow. We kept Summer home from school- they were calling for a half day anyway. It sure was pretty outside, but no fun this morning getting Summer off to school and the dog out for a walk. Summer played outside with her neighbor friend, Mackenzie. They sled down a small hill and then played at her house and had hot chocolate. I took River out to explore thinking he might really enjoy the new experience, but I was very wrong. The snow made him very nervous and he spent most of the time crying even though Summer and Mackenzie were trying to make him laugh and spent a lot of their time giggling together. Apparently, it was a bit too much for him. You can see their fun in the pictures below. I heard on the news this morning that we have ice and snow coming in Saturday evening with maybe another 8 inches followed by another noreaster on Sunday! Looks like winter has officially started regardless of what the calendar says!
