After a rainy Sunday, snow coming on Monday

Geez, I go away for a couple of days and things go to hell in a handbasket.

OK, it isn't that bad, but we did see warm temperatures in Vermont on Sunday that brought some rain with them. Argh. So the stake atop Mt. Mansfield is now reporting three fewer inches of the white stuff. It now reads 27 inches.

But, just as quickly as the spring-like weather hit, we will plunge back down into a deep freeze by Tuesday, with snow on Monday. Weather forecasters are saying we might get 6 inches or so in the mountains. More snow may follow at the end of the week.

I'm looking forward to doing some skiing this week to work off the holiday meals and goodies!
