Inches and inches of rain, thunder, lightning, howling winds, snow in the mountains down to a couple thousand feet...
It's about as East Coast as we get here.
Also funny, though, was Cyanne reaction to her first exposure to thunder and lightning. Here I am thinking she might be scared, impressed, something. Nope.
We were sitting on the couch in the morning as we do every morning: drinking milk, snuggling with puppy, blanket, and Big Bird and watching Elmo on TV.
All of a sudden we hear this loud boom and see the flash of lightning. Tom and I look at each other and comment on how impressive that was, especially for SB. The cats run, petrified. They haven't experienced this since Cambridge in the summer of 2005.
I say to Cyanne: "Cyanne, look! It's pouring outside. The sky is all dark. Listen, there's thunder and watch - lightning!!!"
Cyanne's response: Nothing. She looked at me and back to the TV. She was mesmerized by Elmo and nothing, not even thunder and lightning which happens so rarely here - was going to divert her attention. She had eyes only for Elmo. She glanced out the window as if to appease us, said "wet, cold," did a little play shiver, and then turned her attention back to the TV. The girl likes her Elmo. =)
Here are some adorable photos of Cyanne and Daddy out in the rain. Cyanne is sporting her winter coat and some snazzy red rain boots (thanks John Paul!). At first, we had to convince her to wear them ("too big, too big!") but once she realized she could puddle jump and have dry feet, she was sold:
All wet but having lots of fun!
Photos of the two of them near the poinsettia trees:
Wet, wet Lucky:
Here are two photos taken by our friend Terri of the snow on the mountains in SB - pretty impressive!:
