_______________________________________

 The Route 2 project is winding down for this year. It will be good to have that new bridge at the Folsom farm done for this winter - that old one was a really bad scene during winter driving. Bit by bit, Route 2 west is getting better. Maybe someday . . . !

We have snowflakes and wind today. The temperature is hovering right around 30 degrees and there is a sifting of snow hanging out on some hollows and along the edges of our driveway. When I went out to measure the precipitation (and snow depth!!!) this morning, the deck was very slippery. The snow that fell last night was like cornmeal - completely different from yesterday's wet, mushy variety.  There was very little moisture in today's by comparison. Actually, I only measured less than a quarter of an inch, and there's really nothing on the ground except in hollows and on some fallen leaves. The trees up on the hill in back of our house are still white, and the snow is blowing off of them in clouds as gusts hit. I expect it will all be gone in a day or so. I hope.

In the meantime, the air is really fresh, coming out of the northeast in chilly blasts. I was in West Danville yesterday to pick up the mail and, as usual, the wind was whipping through there. It's a natural wind tunnel coming down the pond and being compressed through the narrow gorge at West Danville village. I'm pretty sure it would be a productive spot to have a few wind towers for electricity. It could possibly give residents free power - and maybe some healthy dividends from the power companies? Maybe?
