12-24-06 VERMONT: We have been here for almost a week. There was no snow when we arrived, and there is no snow now. In between we have had a few dustings of overnight snow that disappeared almost with the light of day. We just finished about 36 hours of rain, 1.0 inch, with temps in the 40’s. Through it all the pond has been frozen and the dogs have run across, but I have not tried it. Today is colder and windy with occasional sunshine. The puddles in the pasture are starting to re-freeze. The small pond in the pasture has been re-frozen and re-thawed for a few cycles.
Before the rain started, I burnt the big brush pile of lilac and rose prunings, the debris from the shed repair and dead fall. It got going without any accelerant and was gone in two hours. The next day, during a break in the rain, I used the big magnet to pick up all the nails, staples and screws that burnt out of the wood scraps.
It doesn’t feel like Xmas in Vermont.
