Winter walk

We've been a bit stir crazy lately.  Between work, (work and more work),  2 ft of snow confining us to the plowed/cleared pavement and our pup trying to make up for her yard being turned into a frozen tundra by running through the house - we were ready for some play time.  We took Kaia for a walk up to Fairfield Hills to see if the trails were cleared.  While I admire the town's optimism and enthusiasm in promoting outdoor activity, I'm thinking they might be a bit premature on little league spring training:

Play Ball!

This is more like it!!:

Not sure the phone camera captured it well, but the sky was darkening creating a terrific contrast with the white snow on the roof of one of the old buildings:

brrrrrrrrr......

1995-1996 was the snowiest winter in NY and CT.  According to the local meteorologist, we are on pace to match that.  Here are some pics to demonstrate:

The grill knobs were eventually buried by 27" of snow

Kaia wishes she was potty trained.




Now try the back stroke!



After a few weeks the snow is still deep.  The hard, icy crust let's Kaia run on top.
