Historic snowstorms buried cities throughout the nation, notably in Ohio and western New York. Buffalo was covered in five feet of snow, paralyzing the city and resulting in about 30 deaths. While all this was going on, a warm front brought heavy rain and temperatures in the 50s up the east coast into New England on December 23. The next day, temperature fell off a cliff to single numbers with wind chills below zero. But highways were clear.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, in an abundance of caution I've been avoiding parties with large numbers of people in enclosed spaces. So rather than join my extended family at their Christmas party, I've stayed at my sister's house and we hook up with them over Skype. You can see my Skype setup and photos and videos with contributions from photographers at both locations at this link:
