Some pictures taken around where I live during New England's blizzard of 2001. My area got about 2 feet of snow.

	The morning of the second day of the New England blizzard. The snowplow is working on clearing out a path in case somebody wants to move their car.
		Looking out my bedroom window. Notice the snow is piled up to the top of the car's tire here.

	Looking out from my patio, the cars' wipers stick out of the snow making them look like snow-covered beatles.
		Looking out from my patio across the parking lot to my neighboring apartment complex.

	Looking at the snow on my patio from inside my apartment.
		I got my snowshoes out and started walking around some of the wooded areas around my apartment. This was a well-covered evergreen tree.

	With all the snow covering them, I almost walked right into this patch of thorns.
		I like trees covered in snow.

	Since the snow didn't come down very quickly, the roads were actually pretty well cleared (at least here in town).
		This chainlink fence is in a spot that is very sheltered from the wind, so the snow was free to pile up as high as it could. There is a road with traffic, on the other side of this fence, but today you can't see it because the snow has piled up on all of the wires that make up the fence.

	This is a closeup of the fence; you can just barely see through it in places.
		This is a view of Westford Street and Lowell from the top of the neighboring landfill. The wind is gusting to about 50 MPH and it is still snowing, plus there are geese living up here that didn't seem too happy to see me, so this was as good of a picture of the town as I could get.

	Snow stuck to just to one side of all the tall skinny trees in the forest
		In an area with lots of pine trees with low branches, the snow piled up on the tops of all the branches.
