Winter Storm Nemo

This past winter while Sam and I were both working at the Elementary school, we had a Nor'easter.  It was so delightfully named Winter Storm Nemo.

It began on a Friday.  We had a Snow Day.  Remember how great they were as a kid?  Well they are 100 times better as an adult working in the school system.  We stocked up with essentials.  Beer and food.  We had our shovels ready and winter clothes out.  It began to snow, lightly at first.  It picked up late afternoon and steadily got heavier as the night went on.

We took a mid day stroll through Greenfield to see the goings on.  The Governor issued a driving ban so the state essentially shut down after about 2pm.  All businesses were closed early and the roads were empty.

We bunkered down with movies and drinks to pass the time.  We decide to go on a late night adventure.  We put on our warmest winter clothes and headed out.  We got onto Main St and it was a ghost town.  The only trucks we saw were plow trucks, heavy machinery, and the occasional fire truck.  It was a miraculous sight  A usually busy town empty.

After out late night adventure we bunkered down until morning when we were able to see the aftermath of the storm and unbury our cars.  

When all said and done, I measured 18" in front of my car.  

Oh, we also took a time lapse of the storm through our front window.  Check it out!

This was a great time had by us and something we will never forget.  It shows how close two people can become when kept indoors by a winter storm.
