As Linda pointed out in the comments to the last post, this morning was even more wintery...

Six point three

Call me a freak, but I like a real winter - a snowy, icy, see-your-breath, feel-your-nose-hairs, frigid winter. It just seems right. And it's a billion times better than the wet, slushy, miserable, 40^o "wintery mix" winters we usually get.

Well, we've got ourselves a real winter settling in right now. And I'm loving it.

Batten down the hatches

This could get a little choppy...

I thought it was still winter

Last evening we had a nice snowfall and this morning I had to shovel a couple of inches of snow off the driveway. I had been thinking how nice it has been to have a real winter this year - plenty of snow, plenty of cold. It just seemed right - the way winter is supposed to be in New England.

Things changed in a hurry. The temperature shot up today over 50° and we've had rain of biblical Hadean proportions. So much for the continuation of our winter wonderland.
