The heaviest snow fall we had was in late February. The scenes in our back yard and view of the pond were beautiful. Barre's measuring stick marked the total at 17 inches. It was a real winter picture, with the snow falling gently all day.
It took a long time for Barre to blow the snow off the driveway, but he took his time and got the job done. It includes making pathways to the greenhouse, bird feeders, and back door of the garage. He actually enjoys the job because he likes the snow! We expected to have the scene of deep snow last long enough to really enjoy it, but the following day brought a heavy rainstorm, and the snow settled so much, it was hard to believe that the previous day had deep snow. The next day, however, brought us 10 more inches of snow, and Barre went back to work using the blower again.
This picture was taken in March, two weeks after our big storm. This is taken in Searsburg, Vermont, on our way to New Hampshire. There were storms in the mountains that we did not have in Adams, and we were surprised by the high banks on the road side. Deep snow, and beautiful mountain scenery was spectacular on Route 9.
As we drove into Brattleboro, Vermont, we passed a farm that collects maple syrup the "old fashioned way" with buckets, not hoses, which send the sap to huge tanks to be collected. We stopped to take this picture, as the season was just beginning. However, the weather warmed up too quickly, and the season was shortened, but the quality of the syrup was excellent, with less gallons produced.

Wow! What a wonder it must be to have a winter like this. We are wondering if the temperature is going to drop below 20 C this year. It is April already and still was 28 C upstairs for our quilting weekend yesterday. Not fair!
