A wintry start to 2014

A winter storm moved into the Northeast on the second day of the year, bringing snow and putting the region into a deep freeze. This was the morning view through the windows of Birch Street headquarters in New Jersey, before anyone had the courage to venture out.


Fortunately the snow was fluffy, and Andy and Dan made fairly quick work of digging out.



Here's the view from the back porch at Nanette's home on Shelter Island - posted by her daughter, Courtney, who says she's jealous of the winter wonderland.



From Rochester, Lisa's brother-in-law Dave posted this photo with the comment, "15 inches of snow and it's 3 degrees."
