A Peaceful Moment

Last night on the news they were saying there was going to be another big snowstorm overnight. So I woke up extra early this morning to see if they were right. Sure enough, they were!! I also woke up to find out that NYC schools were closed. Grreeeaaattt!!! Just what us moms love! I can just picture a sea of disappointed, panic stricken faces throughout the city.

Well no reason to wake anyone up! Figured I'd take advantage of the short lived peace and quiet I would have today. When I looked outside the window, I couldn't believe how much snow had fallen! I decided to take my camera, head out and capture the moment.

This is the first thing I saw, or actually didn't see when I walked outside my building. Where'd the steps go??

It was so nice being one of the only few people outside knowing that behind all these windows, everyone was still fast asleep.

There's snow everywhere...

snow to the left of me,

snow to the right,

it was everywhere!

It was soooo quiet outside - a true winter wonderland.

Hard to believe, but these big lumps are actually the bushes outside my building.

Could these 2 actually be attempting to go to work?? Such dedication.

He's already working... what a trooper!

This guy must have been up real early. Showoff.

Let's see if I can find my car - here it is, buried with the rest of them. Awww, poor thing.

Look at the trees - so beautiful.

As I head back home,

I try to savor these last few peaceful moments in solitutde.

For fear of what lies ahead of me.
