The Last Snow

It's been a long "winter" here in New Jersey. If anyone besides myself has actually read any of my blog, they'd know this already.

This week, we had, what I hope, is our last snow of the "winter season". In the Northeast, in general, and New Jersey, specifically, the "winter season" lasts from November into April, regardless of the meteorological designtations which say winter "begins" around Dec 20 and "end" around Mar 20 (plus or minus a day either way).

It's just been fairly cold for this region, and with persistent, weekly storms that resulted in snow/ice/sleet, cold winds, and no real break in the weather as is customary for our Southern Jersey coastal sections.

Anyhow, I'm calling it "over"! Done! Finito!  Gone!

Capo loves snow

My dachshund Cappuccino ( capo for short ) loves snow. Good thing because the grand state of south jersey, which is normally sunny and 70s, has had it's share this winter.

I, on the other hand, am fully ready for spring :)

It's Winter

and the birds know that a big storm is coming.

If you don't know then you don't live in the Northeastern United States since that's the only thing local weather dudes and dudettes have been talking about since last week.

I have a new camera so will hopefully be posting better pictures. Soon, I hope as I'm still a neophyte and my photos look *slightly* better than cell phone pics, at this point :)
