The beginning of this week saw us inundated with severe winter weather alerts and today, it is here...
Burlington woke up to more than 6" of fresh white fluffy on top of what we had before, and it hasn't stopped yet. Forecasts say 16-24" by tomorrow morning.
Everyone is being told to stay home
and not venture out unless absolutely necessary. And man do they mean it! UVM, and actually a huge chunk of New York State and Vermont, has pretty much closed down altogether.
That said, Adam is in at work today. He was supposed to be in Chicago but flight cancellations mean at least he’s here and not trying to travel about the country in this snow storm. He'll be back home just as soon as his video conference with the meeting he was supposed
to be at is over.
In the meantime, here are some pics taken at lunchtime today. Puts a whole new slant on ‘scraping up the cow yard’...
Pic 1 – View from our living room window out onto Spear Street. The snow was about knee deep at the mailbox.
Pic 2 – Scraping up the cow yard (glad it’s not us having to sit out there in the skid-steer. The poor guy looked like the abominable snowman himself!)
Pic 3 – "Build it bigger John!" Gertie and Maud oversee developments for their new terrain park. Look out for the UVM Moostyle X-games, coming soon. Well, perhaps not, but those cows have been going nuts out there this afo.

Auntie Mary Uncle Peter rang up at
10.pm our time to say that they were listerning to Radio Devon and
somebody from Burlington Vermont was also listerning on the internet
and reported live on air how much
snow Burlington had. We would not
have recognised Spear Street with
all the snow. I bet the yard scrapper doesn't make so much noise!! Keep warm and safe
Lots of love Mum, Dad, Auntie Mary
and Uncle Peter
