These were taken the day I got my digital camera (Canon G3) as an xmas gift from my wife and her parents.  We got around 5 inches of wet snow on Christmas day; the first white christmas in this area in quite a while - and an indication of things to come for that winter, one of the worst in Philadelphia history. 

We'd had a 7 inch storm at the start of December, 2 days after my in-laws moved in with us.  By the end of the winter, we had a total of around 43 inches officially - more at our house.  The worst storm was around 22-24 inches; we didn't move for a day while shoveling out, but even on our 1-lane gravel road and hilly (paved!) driveway, we never got stuck, even without 4wd.
