Boston the Blizzard of 2010

Our first winter back and Boston has to have a blizzard.  This was in the top ten of storms to ever hit Boston.  Hopefully this will be the only big one of the season.  Usually they only get small amounts of snow, but I guess when we wished to see snow since we had not seen it in years, we got our wish.  Ok enough now we have seen it........

Wayne is shoveling the dock beside our boat.... a shovel on a boat!!!!!

 

One good thing by this weekend all the snow will be gone.....it is supposed to rain

Lake Champlain & Burlington, Vermont

 Lake Champlain is busy with ferry boats going back and forth from Vermont to NY

 The Marketplace is a great place to shop, eat, and walk, we enjoyed the hot weather they were having during our visit, it was just a short walk from the waterfront which is the picture above.

 Many painted cows from different establishments, each with their own unique art work
