We have snow, and MORE snow, and even MORE SNOW! Everyone is beginning to be a little tired of all this white stuff - except for the skiers and snowmobilers. With things shifting continuously from bitter cold with snow and wind, to rain, melting snow, mud and flood, we really don't know what to expect next. A couple of days ago I saw my daffies at the end of the house up about three inches. Now there's a foot of snow, or more, covering them. Good thing, too, as we have more near-zero temperatures coming right up.

Sugarmakers are complaining - but perhaps the year won't be a complete bust. Just maybe that brief preview of spring last week isn't indicating winter's over. If they can hold their horses, just maybe we'll still have some sugaring, at least here in the hill country.

What I really wanted to tell you, especially those of you who have property or other interests in the Town of Cabot, Bill Walters is publishing an on-line newsletter that he sends off with all the latest town news. The last one I received has the minutes of our 7 1/2 hr. long town meeting. He has included the minutes of the regular town meeting, the school meeting, and the Select Board's meeting the following day. If you wish to receive the newsletters, contact Bill at admin@cabotvt.us.
