First Big Snow Storm


Our first big snowstorm of the season was on Wednesday, December 9. Now it is December 19 and there is a Nor-easter to the south of us. We may get a few inches later on, but not nearly as much as states to the south are getting where blizzard-like conditions may prevail later in the evening.

Meanwhile in Copenhagen, an agreement was reached about climate change mitigation, but advocates for action to halt climate change are not happy because it will not cut emissions to where they should be – 350 ppm. In the meantime, I will continue to record what’s happening here with the weather and wildlife at Beatitude Pond.

First Snow

Our first snow of the season was yesterday. It began around 1 p.m., a damp rapid snow which accumulated to about three inches before stopping in the evening. It caused numerous accidents on the roads, but we were mostly inside all day, watching from the warm of our living room. Chopping more wood was out of the question for the day.
A photo will follow soon.
Brightens things up a bit.
