Photos of Boston's First Snow Storm of 2008-2009

Happy 2009. A few days ago we got 12 inches of snow followed a day later by another 12 inches of snow. Here are some of the results. These are not black and white photos.

A very nice set, Bill ... it's good to see you back behind the lens. We just had an accumulation of almost another foot since the weekend and it looks a lot like your photographs around here too.

Mick - Nice to hear from you. I remember when I lived in Syracuse that you did not see the ground from december through march, We had 48 inches of snow one weekend. Is this still the case? Bill

Eek! I'm so glad I live in the South these days. Unfortunately WE had 3" of snow in mid-December, ourselves!
Lovely shots. My best to you & yours in 2009!

It never snowed once in the 10 years I lived in New Orleans but I read about your recent storm. Bill

It's been one of those years where it started snowing just after Thanksgiving with 3" to 5" averages being the norm almost every day. Then a warm spell or two scattered about including one just after Christmas that melted an accumulated 36" or better before the snow began again on New Years Eve. We're right back to almost 36" of snow again. We haven't (cross my fingers) yet had a major storm where the 48" in a day or two shuts things down for a few days ... even so, our yearly total is above 76" as we speak and judging from the 5" we had this morning we've just topped 80" for the season accumulation.
