While you guys are getting the snow that we want we are having a virtual snow drought. One of the pictures that you see is the meadow below our deck as taken today (03/12/06). It should be covered with snow, but no0000, you guys are hogging it all and taking it out of the air before it can get to where it rightly belongs, here in Vermont.

One upside, yesterday we had a fantastic snowshoe treck (no wise cracks, you actually did need snowshoes there because it is higher and the snow remains) to the top of Camels Hump with some friends (other picture) in Camel's Hump State Park about 40 miles north of here. It was an incredibly clear day and we could see the White mountains in New Hampshire on one side and Lake Champlain and the Adarondacks in NY on the other. The view from the top made the 8 mile round trip worth it. Did I mention that our legs are sore today.

Anyway, don't bother sending us our snow now, you guys have already used it and we are starting to get ready for sping. We had the first part of honest to goodness mud season yesterday on the way home from the hike, and grounded the car out twice in the ruts on the way up Braintree hill.  ¶ 3/12/2006 11:49:00 AM
