More About Snow

Pictured above is our rear deck as of the end of February; that's apparently also the end of the weatherman's winter statistical period. At any rate, Vermont had its biggest snow accumulation, over 100 inches, since the early 70's. Unfortunately for us, while we were away skiing we had both snow and rain resulting in a frozen surface that's impossible to shovel. And we have another foot allegedly coming tonight (2/29/08). Below is the view from our media room of the front porch.

Paces Enjoy 6th Year at Owlshead

For the sixth straight year, we met the Brownlies at Owlshead in Mansonville, PQ, for a week of skiing and fun. The snow was excellent and the company, as usual, most pleasant. When not skiing, we were either relaxing with a book by the fireplace or travelling to our "favorite" spot in Mansonville, the Vale Perkins General Store. Janet is pictured above on Panarama Trail with the peak in the background. Below, John and Joan Brownlie, along with Ralph, are pictured outside the Vale Perkins store, the source of some food and wine. While Southern Vermont was receiving rain, Owlshead was blessed with powder snow. Additional photos are available at http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AaN2blo0aNmRm.
