Vermont has it’s own “weather shield” that becomes active during bad storms so that folks can get out and about before the weather gets rough again. Don’t tell anyone…it’s a local secret. Read more »

Blessed be the fix-it shop that will take the time to work on a neighbor’s snow blower on a Saturday when there’s a snow storm due on Sunday. He didn’t even charge me for today’s labor which is good since we’re counting pennies right now. We’ll have to invite him over for dinner sometime soon.

It’s Spring I just know it, despite all evidence to the contrary. Somewhere under all that snow and the giant mound of it in the front yard (contributed to by our neighbor, us, the roof and the sidewalk plow), and the currently cold temperatures, Spring is already here at the end of February, 10 miles [...] Read more »

The weather looks like it’s about to clobber the Northeast Kingdom with a good old fashioned Nor’easter and this time it looks like it means it! The weather forecast is calling for heavy snow all through tomorrow with the storm ending sometime in the wee hours of Thursday morning—maybe. Perhaps as much as 26″ of [...] Read more »
