Snow on the mountain top




This is the view when I'm heading back home from the barn. It's a great view any time of the year, but really striking when there's snow on Mount Mansfield. Last Friday (the 15th) a nor'easter came through that left about 2 feet of snow on the mountain. We've had a run of cold nights, so even though a lot of the snow has melted, there's still plenty of white up there.

The horses started wearing their turnout sheets a couple of days ago. It really hasn't gotten much above 40, and the temperatures have been dropping into the 30s at night, with a very slow warm-up in the morning. I'm hoping we get a little warm stretch; I'm not ready to settle into winter cold just yet.
