North by Northeast

Towards Winthrop, originally uploaded by bwc.

Not all snow storms are nor’easters. The definition is a storm which is turning counter-clockwise and battering New England from the north east direction. Today we had one.

Here’s a few more pictures I shot.

It started early in the morning (the overnight) and was easily 5″ of light, fluffy powder when I began shoveling around 8am. Around 9, the sleet began. By the time I came in at 10, my shell was soaked from the wet precipitation.

A good day to stay inside and watch the Patriots. But if you haven’t cleared out your snow – its only getting wetter and heavier every moment. Good luck with that.
