Y'awl,

Yesterday (Christmas) the snow started about noon and it snowed and snowed and snowed all the rest of the day. This is white Christmas shot from the dog's run out toward our backyard:

If y'awl have paid attention to the weather channel you've heard that our area had 2 feet of snow, my guess at my house is closer to 3 feet. It really was incredible <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>. In a bad kinda way.

Then I got a call from a neighbor at the lake, and I had to get up there to handle a problem, so I stopped by the marina where osmepneo is stored. I was wondering whether the snow there had been enough to put the boat in the snow, like up to the wateline.

osmepneo is covered with a blue cover, the one to the left.

Oh, well, I thought y'awl would enjoy a real white Christmas! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Here's the morning after Christmas in coastal Connecticut--about a half a foot of wet show on top of a layer of sleet. Looks pretty, but clearing that driveway was not fun. I haven't been to the boat yard, but know that Passage has quite a pile in the cockpit.

Fair winds to you Southern sailers... We're off to Vermont for a long weekend of cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing (sp?) in the 2.5 feet they just got. (My knee isn't ready for downhill skiing. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> )
