Snowstorm Stella with Update 2

As everybody on the planet knows, we are having a big snowstorm called "Stella." It is a nor'easter, and could be a blizzard. Both are very specific things, and you can look them up. (I've even given you the links.)  

this is out the front window at 8 AM Tuesday

We are supposed to have between 18-24" of snow. That's 45 -61 cm for my Aussie and Kiwi pals. Mom has stayed home, because driving will be dangerous. It wasn't snowing when Mom got up to look at 5 AM, but these two photos were taken just after 8 AM, and you can see it has barely started. (Mom went back to bed.) I'll post updates throughout the day. See you later!

this is the view out back at 8 AM Tuesday

Update from 10:20 AM

This photo was taken about 10:20 AM Tuesday.

This is the view out back around 10:20 AM Tuesday. It isn't snowing all that hard yet.

Update 2 at 1:25 PM

It's really snowing hard now, and the wind is picking up.
