Another Cold Night

Winter hit us again today with very cold temperatures - right around zero until mid-morning, and I don't think it ever got much above 10 above. The wind was biting - according to my wind chart it was equal to minus 20. The snow was blowing around some, but now everything seems to have quieted down, and that means another cold night. Tomorrow we expect more snow. Not much to report except more winter weather expected with snow again by late tomorrow. This is Fred just below our livingroom windows this morning on the walkway that leads to the basement door and the propane tank. There's no way to turn the blower around, so he has to drag it back through what's fast becoming quite a tunnel. With the remainder of February still ahead of us, and March that usually produces some whopper storms along about Town Meeting Day (March 4th this year), we'll probably have more snow than we've had in a number of years.

All this snow has to be good news for our ski areas, but my advice would be to watch the weather closely and pick a time to come when the driving conditions are good, and then plan to stay at least a few weeks so you can take advantage of the good days to ski, and enjoy down time when it's too darned cold to be out on the slopes. Snowmobiling is another story, I guess. Those folks don't care much what the weather is. Once they get all those special suits, boots, helmets and goggles on, they're good to go any time, any weather.

Having fun in the snow here in Vermont.

Fred just brought this to my attention. You may want to stock up on "forever stamps."
