Snow before Halloween???...

Well the snow found us here in Connecticut! It was a crazy weekend. From the sound of it, snow isn't the norm here in October. All the leaves are still on the tree's so the snow can cause some damage. Because of the leaves and the fact that the snow was really heavy, lots of trees collapsed under the weight of the snow and knocked over a lot of power lines. Over 700,000 people here are without power. That's about 80% of the state. Clint and I lucked out again and still have power. We decided that we are in a good area because we didn't loose power over the hurricane or this big freak snowstorm. It snowed all day Saturday, so we had to stayed hunkered down in the apartment, but today the sun was out so we went out and played in it a little. Oreo wasn't sure what to think of it at first. He we slipping all over and sinking in the snow and just had this real confused look on his face. After a little bit though, he decided it was way fun and just ran and played in it. We literally had to coax him in the house he loved it so much. (as evident in the picture above). Well that is that. I am not a big fan of the snow, but what can you do. We are just praying for the rest of the state and hoping they get their power back soon. 




Oreo and his buddy Layla who was spending the weekend with us.
Poor tree was sagging so much from the weight of the snow
Oreo has snow clumps hanging from his fur every time we go outside

I love this picture of Layla jumping through the snow.

This one is cute, both of them jumping through the snow.

This is a car that is on our parking lot. A huge tree fell over on it and crunched it. I feel so bad for the person who owns this car.



Another tree/car collision.


Pretty fall colors on the trees.



SUPER DOG!!!
Clint cleaning off the car turned into a game. Look closely at Oreo in the background. He looks slightly evil.



Love this picture. Layla looks like a little fox.
 Oreo had sooo much fun in the snow!
