Snow Scenes #2

As the snow ends — just as predicted, at 1 p.m. — Main Street is plowed. Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, so it’s the perfect time to pick up chocolates, flowers, or gifts from local businesses. Plenty of parking, and no lines! (Photos/Annette Norton)

There were few reports of damage from today’s snow. But there was at least one downed tree. This is in front of Hudson Malone. (Photo/Annette Norton)

Meanwhile, elsewhere in town, an Amtrak train plowed ahead … (Photo/Aiden Schachter)

Snow Scenes

It’s hardly a nor’easter.

It’s not even a particularly big snowfall (yet).

But the first significant accumulation in centuries decades quite a while has reminded Westporters how pretty our town can be, even in mid-February.

Here are a few scenes:

Pics Of The Day #2454

“06880” photographer Claudia Sherwood Servidio says of this first-of-the-winter-snow photo on Cross Highway: “I was surprised to see a trick of light displayed a nonexistent full moon!”

Meanwhile, Jonathan Alloy captured this early snowfall scene.

Sunday Snow Scenes

The timing of the blizzard that wasn’t — not in western Connecticut, anyway — was perfect.

We enjoyed a lazy day yesterday. Today we headed outside. The air was brisk, but bearable. There was enough snow for sledding, but not enough to make life miserable.

It was a perfect January Sunday. If you didn’t enjoy today, you’re not a real Westporter.

Winslow Park was one of many hills packed with sledders, tobogganers and snowboarders. One girl was frightened by a big dog.: “:Honey, it’s their park,” her mother said. “We’re just guests.” (Photo/Dan Woog)

Someone clomped out this message in Gina Ryan’s yard. “I love you too!” she said.

This bird did not know it’s Sunday. It just knew where to find lunch. (Photo/Robin Frank)

Scenes from a nor’easter/bomb cyclone/blizzard that wasn’t.

BUT — it sure was cold. At mid-afternoon, it was just 11 degrees.

Time for lunch! (Photo/Betsy Pollak)
