Yet More Snow

11 March, 2005 - 1:34 pm

Well, it’s certainly been a while since I’ve written. I simply haven’t had time. And really, just lately, there hasn’t been all that much to talk about. It’s been snowing.

And snowing.

This morning the weather minion on WCAX in Burlington informed us that it should start snowing early this afternoon and snow straight through until Monday morning. Depending on altitude and location we should be getting anywhere from 8 to 18 inches. More. On top of the 3-4 feet of snow that is already on the ground.

I will need a sherpa to help me feed the chickens. As it is the path I’ve cut between the garage and the coop is easily three feet above the ground.

As I look out the windows here at the CrossRoads at 12:48 PM it has just started.

Strange weather. We had almost no snow on the ground at Yule and by all accounts we should be tapping trees now. I heard some folks talking about tapping this week but it’s Friday now and there are no buckets hanging on the giant trees in the “Alley.” It simply hasn’t been warm enough during the day.

I have my winter blah on right now. And for that I am sorry. I’ll try to do better this coming week. The temperature is about 15 degrees lower than it should be for this time of year. I’m waiting for days when I can open the windows and air out the house. Days when I can hang laundry out on the line.

Dare I hope to see the crocuses before mid-April?
