Storm Report.

12-24-17 VERMONT: Two days ago we had a bunch of new snow, and yesterday it rained, freezing rain, that glazed the new snow with ice. I was afraid there would be a lot of damage to trees and shrubs from the accumulation of ice, but there was surprisingly little problem, and, amazingly, the power never went out.

Today the temps are in the upper twenties, I did some shoveling, we went into town for some supplies and are now waiting for the arrivals. Alison and Dan already got here, they came today instead of yesterday because of that storm. Val, Steve, Lucy and Lily are expected tonight, before the next storm starting after midnight.

Tomorrow is our party with the neighbors Katy, Andy and Sarah and Steve, Diana, Clara and Eliza all joining all of us.


New snow for Bally is shoulder deep.

The dogs get tired chasing each other and digging holes. I count on them to break a trail when I'm not using snow shoes, but their trails meander.

Everything obscured by the falling snow.

The dogs are exploring under the barn.

Judy said these snowy viburnum berry clusters were 'santa hats.'
