Big Announcement and Big Change

I second Elyse's latest post. I hope Vermont is treating you well! How is the farm?

[Freedom]

How are the snows treating you?!

Thank you - it's beautiful, but my tire need replacing, so my car is at the bottom of Windham Hill, and I am near the top. It stayed the night in a parking lot there, I need to buy snow tires, what I am currently on are very worn summer tires, and Stellwagen (my car) got partway up the hill and said, "Nope!"

[ramanth]

Haha! I've been there. Snow tires are such a blessing.

Yes - then a snowstorm - heavy wet snow, 14 inches when they predicted 4-8, and two more days of snow hit, and we lost power. It has been out since Monday night, and is still out - I am temporarily in Nashua New Hampshire to update the sites and stay warm. I will post storm pictures, but we are not even scheduled to get power until late Saturday night! So that's why the sites didn't change - I could not do it without power, and did not dare drive anywhere until I was sure roads were clear!

Karen,

Just read through this whole thread, I'm sorry for the losses you've experienced over the years. I am not familiar with that part of Vermont but I've driven through it for sure and it's just a beautiful state. I think it will be a wonderful place to heal and renew, once you get past the snow and power outages Can't wait to see more pictures.


I lived in the Adirondacks for 4 years and loved it but I must say I do not miss the snow!

This is one picture from the storm - that is a very heavy tree, resting on the power lines just down the street from my house.

And thank you, Alysser, still no power at the house, but the animals are all fine!
