And More Snow...

Not at all what it looks like today!
February is starting off with a good, old fashioned Nor'easter. Woke to almost foggy skies and eerie calmness and a very dry air mass (you can feel it in your nose).
The skies opened up about an hour ago and down it comes, beautiful white flakes. Weathermen are calling for anywhere between 18-24" of snow before it's all done tomorrow night, and so that means more paths for the sheep will need to be broken...more hay and water hauled...
The flakes are coming down now in a straight path, softly floating downward and resting in the spots where they land. When the winds kick up, it'll become a whiteout though. Suddenly the beauty and tranquility will shift to stormy snowy weather and we'll all wait it out. Hunkered down, watching and listening to the quiet storm of snow. Ah, winter in Maine. Welcome February. Highly doubting the groundhog will even be able to make it out of his darn hole!!
