The winter that was

As the thermometer climbs into the set of numbers above zero, I would like to remember the winter that was past (and pray that it doesn't return again soon).

Last wednesday we had about 3 inches of snow which proceeded to hang around all week like that guest from England who just won't get the hint that at some stage you will need your lounge back.

The good Doctor and I went for a walk in the snow and attempted to make New Jersey look pretty. The layers of snow covering the street helped quite a bit.

The Park in Jersey City Heights that overlooks Manhattan and Hoboken

The good Doctor trying to keep warm










Nothing is more important in the snow than a stout pair of leather boots



I would like to thank the following for making this winter possible;

Grandmother and Mrs Watson for seeking out and sending the stout leathers, Mother for the very warm and much used hand knitted woolen scarf, and lastly the good Doctor herself for the most vital winter jacket complete with furry bits.
