Winter Cabin Fever
It's about this time of year when I tire of seeing white and feeling the cold and long to see some of this again....

Winter Storms ~ Just in time for Christmas
We've been stuck in a weather pattern since December 12 where we have had a significant winter storm every other day. Each storm bringing more precipitation than the last. Friday's storm left us with flurries into last evening, as the Nor'easter started dumping upon us early this AM. I just went outside my kitchen and took a few photos of the snow.

Happy Spring???
More like the never ending winter! Seems when we have a warm day to melt everything down, we end up with a day or two of cold and snow afterwards. 
Winter will not relinquish its hold in Central Vermont this year!

Winter Fun
I am not a winter person at all. I am most happy when the mercury rises above 70 Degrees F and even happier when it rises above 80 Degrees F. I am not one to enjoy very many outdoor winter activities like the rest of my family as I prefer to become a hermit when the mercury dips below freezing and the snow starts to fly.
Yesterday, after being gone on a business trip for the week, my husband asked me to take a quick ride on a snowmobile...by quick he means a couple hours of riding. I am a nervous rider, and refuse to learn how to drive one of those contraptions for myself so I was hesitant. My husband works for his sister and brother-in-law at Lucky's Motor Sports, and said they had taken a two up seat on trade that was in need of being run on the trails to diagnose what all was wrong with it. He promised to bring the machine home if I wanted to go for a ride. I agreed.
It was still daylight when we headed out and for the first time I was able to enjoy the beautiful mountain countryside in winter and see what everyone else brags about while out snowmobiling. The views were spectacular, nature at its best. We managed to scare a deer that decided to stand in the middle of the snowmobile trail. She jumped and ran away as we came upon her.
Some of the trails were in serious need of being groomed, but all in all, the ride was uneventful. I much prefer riding on a two-up snowmobile, and in daylight. I find no enjoyment in snowmobiling otherwise.
