I’m Dreaming of a White Thanksgiving
One of the features provided by my past several years of going to Vermont for Thanksgiving has been snow, almost invariably, either already on the ground, or while I was there. Here that’s rare, which is a Good Thing.
It may not be the first of the season - in fact, it’s the third to be at least a dusting - but sure enough, since I couldn’t go to the snow, the snow came to me. I awoke to find it falling vigorously, with a small accumulation starting to exceed a dusting. We’re in the 1” to rain zone, but Boston is up for 1 - 2” and 2 - 4” north and west.
I hope this means the winter snows itself outearly, rather than it being a sign of things to come. At least it’s picturesque, won’t stick around, and we’re not going anywhere today.
