Truth be told, it’s not that cold today – there’s no ice on the pond and the falling snow won’t stay around for long; but it is still the first snow of this coming winter (and of course, it isn’t even officially winter for another couple of weeks!) …
Weather recently has been rather up & down; a couple of days ago the high temperature was 30 (below freezing!), and this morning the Essex river was ice-covered again:
But later this week, temperatures go back up close to 50. Although I’m sure it will get cold again soon …
Throughout this winter we’ve had regular snow, a few inches here, a few more there … each storm isn’t too much trouble; this latest one yesterday left us with 10″-12″ of light snow to clear today before breakfast!
The clear skies and warm sun – and no evil wind blowing – made snow clearing quite pleasant! Enough that this afternoon we strolled up to the reservoir to see how full it was; it was surprisingly still very empty!
