Winter Storm Juno brought nothing like the amounts of snow forecast along many other areas of the east coast, but here in The Lymes, we received more than 20 inches, but amazingly (and thankfully), retained power throughout both towns.
We asked readers to send us their favorite photos of the snow and many of you obliged — we thank you sincerely!
If we have missed any, then please let us know because we have had some strange gremlins in our email these last few days and some of the photos below turned up in our Spam folder.
So, let’s start with the big question … how much snow did we really get?
Was it this much?
… or this much?
Or even this much? Linda Collins sent in this photo of her husband, John Graham, digging out on West End Drive.
Fran Gumkowski solved the problem for us by supplying this photo, which tells us that 21 1/2 inches of snow were accumulated.
Our four-legged friends definitely enjoyed the (with apologies to Thomas the Tank Engine!) “silly, soft stuff.”
Here’s Flash, unperturbed by his size (he’s a corgi), having a fine old time. This delightful photo was sent in by Heather Supersano.
And here’s our Buddy just loving the snow!
Some feathered friends flew in for breakfast on Lyme Street and Dini Mallory managed to catch this beautiful shot of a cardinal on camera.
How about the Winter Wonderland that the snow created?
Here’s a view of Laurel Heights by Emily Snow.
And here’s Hawks Nest Beach looking east by Linda Collins…
… and west, also by Linda Collins.
Oh, what a snowy scene!
And finally, how did all that shoveling go at your house?
Jake Quaratella found the perfect solution to the shoveling challenge, as this photo, sent in by his mom Martha, shows!
