Day after the 2022 Nor’easter

Usually when I take pictures of amazing nature, I make a point of keeping non naturey things like houses, cars, lawn furniture and such out of the frame. However, to show how much snow Mother Nature dumped on us during yesterday’s Nor’easter/bomb cyclone/blizzard event (geez, the weather people are getting dramatic with their verbiage…lol), I actually went out of my way to get shots with sorts of reference points when I went out earlier today, this day after the 2022 Nor’easter.

I didn’t stay out long though because even though the sun was out, the temps were still stupid cold. During my quick meander with my camera, it was 16F/-9C with a “real feel” (thanks to the wind) of -2F/-19C. Talk about BRRRRR!

All things considered, the storm could’ve been a lot worse – we had a few power/internet flickers, but no trees or branches fell, and none of us had anyplace we had to go. In fact, our youngest called out of work for the very first time and wasn’t happy about it, but realized halfway through the day it was the correct call… although I don’t recall her saying, “You were right, mom.” Suppose I should ask her about that…lol.

And as per my usual FYI – these were taken in the yard of my Durham, NH home with my Nikon, attached to my tripod. All were resized, then cleaned up a bit with PicMonkey – mostly to tweak the exposure and sharpness.

1. As always, Sandy was very happy to play in the snow, even though it made his paws wicked cold.

2. I think our car is somewhere under that mound of snow…lol

3. Sandy was seriously contemplating jumping into the big drifts of snow, but his chilly paws made him think twice.

4. After just a few minutes, I brought him back up on the porch and sent him inside, and got a shot of the mounds of snow at the same time.

5. Honestly, if it hadn’t been for the wind, my husband would’ve been sitting in this spot at some point today, grilling chicken as a belated birthday dinner for our eldest.

6. Mr Acorn Cap Man got another new cap, as he does most snow storms.

7. Mr Wind got a taste of his own medicine.

8, I didn’t get a chance to refill the bird feeders before the snow hit, and just as well, given how hard it would be to find now!

9. Get the feeling this place will be hopping tomorrow, after I get it cleaned up.

10. Not a completely accurate view of how much snow, since plenty of it blew off the steps…

11. .. but it still sorta close to how much we got overall (official for our area was 11.5 inches).

12. Don’t think we’ll need to dig these out any time soon.

13. Not sure if you can really tell, but as I trudged through this part of the yard, the snow was about halfway up to my knee, and a little deeper in spots.

14. Rounding the corner and coming back to the front of the house, you can see the pile of snow that looks like it will be there until spring (although this is New England, and given the fact that we’ll be getting rain and warmer temps mid week, I’m sure it will be gone before long).

15. As I got to the porch again, I turned back to get another shot of the mound and the little pathway our boy cleared from a different angle.

16. And at least the sun is shining again, although it looks like I might need to clean off my camera lens a bit (I’d swear I checked it before I went out).

 
 

 
 

Hope you enjoyed these shots around my yard from the day after the 2022 Nor’easter
