Come Fly With Me
Since this has been a “normal” Vermont winter, for the most part, I haven’t bothered documenting much. We’ve just had the usual accumulating snow for the last two months, with no big snow storms, and the typical piles of snow line the streets and the driveway.
The cold hasn’t been… Read More …
Second Helpings
Vermont gets snow—that’s just a fact of life. The storms are far less intense and disruptive than many I experienced in Delaware, but measurable snow on May 9? I definitely don’t… Read More …
Vermont, With a Side of Vermont
Vermont has been extra Vermonty this winter. The snow started in October, with the first measurable snow in November. We’ve been under snow pretty much ever since, and we’re at least two feet… Read More …

They didn’t lie…
So we got about 12 to 14 inches in our neighborhood (below), less in a few, more in some. Why, why, why couldn’t this have come… Read More …
Damn, difficult Mother Nature!
WHY!? Gees. If it’s going to snow, why not during the week so I can miss a day or two of work/classes. Grrrr. Damn Mother Nature! Vacca Foeda… Read More …
