Now it's accumulating on the bare ground that lost its snow last week.

My crocuses are going to get buried.

of Bangor (Northern Vermont)… it hasn't started here yet though forecast has snow until Friday night...

we still have massive piles of snow here and I really don't want more... I try to walk out into my woods and sink thigh deep... around the house there are some bare spots and I like it that way this time of year... sad about your crocuses, at least we don't have any green yet to lose


my tent platform out back...

Though I bet you've been without power before. But these are different days, hope you're not out long if it happens.

13. Even during Hurricane, we didn't lose power

We had cable and internet. Out cables are underground. You’d think Maine would do that. I know there’s an expense but there’s one everytime the power goes out to. Thank God for Florida having the sense to put all cables underground. Not a perfect state but good on this.
