The Blizzard of '09










Here are a few pics and videos of the snowfall we had here on the east coast on December 19, 2009. Click on any of them to see them full-sized.

Official snowfall at the Philadelphia airport was 23.3 inches. Since the yearly average for us is 19 inches, that means we got an entire year's worth of snow on Saturday.

Total by me was around 16-18 inches. It was hard to tell, since the strong winds made big drifts in some areas, and scoured down the accumulation on other surfaces. The buried lawn chair was in a reasonably sheltered area, and I'm going by that.
















I've also included a couple of videos down at the bottom. Enjoy.
