The Northeast seems to be getting peculiar weather this year. First an earthquake, then a hurricane, and now a record breaking snowstorm in October. There have only been 5 days in recorded history in which snow has fallen here in October. Our 6.8 inches was definitely an all-time record for October! A lot of people are still without power, luckily we only lost ours for about 9 hours total. The trees don't usually have leaves by the time it snows, so tree branches were snapping off left and right bringing a lot of powerlines down with them. A lot of places are running on emergency power now or have no power at all. Lehigh cancelled classes Monday and Tuesday due to lack of power (no heat...brrr), but we didn't have internet so Justin still showed up because he didn't know!
Last week I had planned to go out on the weekend to take pictures of the pretty fall leaves, but what I got was a little different than I expected! Saturday was really quite a beautiful day. We are at the peak of fall colors and to see that mixed with white snow flakes was really a rare chance. I wish I had gotten more pictures!
