Winter in New England

We have had our share of cold weather through December and into January. Barre has recorded 26 inchs of snow for the winter to date. Yesterday, Jan. 14, was the first day of the month that the temperature at our house has been about freezing.
Christmas Day on West Road, Adams, Ma. The view in our yard and of our small mountain in the back yard was spectacular. We had frozen fog, and all the trees were shining with ice on the branches. Barre took this picture from our pond, with the view across the yard where he has recently planted small evergreens (notice the stakes).
The view of Mt. Greylock on Christmas morning, just a half mile north of our house.



Last weekend while visiting friends in Durham, NH, we took a drive to York, Maine to view Nubble Light on Cape Neddick, and gaze at the ocean, on a sunny winter day. Locals were walking their dogs on York Beach.


This is route 8 in Searsburg, Vermont. This was our view as we climbed the mountains in southern Vermont, as we traveled to New Hampshire for a weekend of hockey games at UNH.
It had been snowing frequently most of the week before we left on Friday.


January 2, 2010. Eric and Moose both enjoyed the snow while visiting. They walked out in the woods frequently. Moose enjoys exploring for squirrels along the stone walls, and jumping and rolling in the snow. Eric enjoys the snow, but didn't get to skate on the pond because the snow hadn't been cleared.
