Glad you liked it. Everything around here looks like a scene from Dr. Zhivago. Right now, another large snowfall is coming down. It's been one storm right after another......for the past several months.


But, spring will be a total joy this year....after an extremely cold winter with ongoing sub zero temps & tons of snow.

I think MA, NH, VT and Maine will still be thawing out in June! With lots of flooding. Check out the chart in this article, showing the amount of total snowfall still on the ground……

And the dreaded ice dams that can tear the roofing off when they weigh a ton and slide down…..
