It’s January, so it must be snowy

The new year arrived with a doozy of a snowstorm here in Maine.  It was GLORIOUSLY beautiful, so I’ll let the photos do most of the talking.

From the porch…

The back porch is screened, so the coating is the fine fluffy stuff that blew sideways through the screen:

Paul and ‘Widgeon, our pug who is trying out his brand new blue coat:

I LOVE the crests of snow that collect on the branches like tracery in the vaults of medeival cathedrals.  Fortunately, I got this photo before the winds arrived:

Our driveway is between the stakes…under about 13-16 inches of snow!

Got any idea what this nearly-buried thing is?

It’s our neighbor’s stone wall….

It hasn’t been cold enough long enough, so the running brook (aka drainage ditch) is still not frozen:

Usually we get wind with heavy snow, so this is the first time we’ve had so much it started sliding in large quantities off the porch roof—the view from on the porch:

and from outside:

We’re in for some wicked cold this weekend, so sounds like time to quilt to me!

    Vermont looks about the same as Maine these days. Not much interest in being out when it get so cold. Great quilting weather. I just saw your book advertised in Connecting Threads catalog.It’s a good price but I hope you still get a fair cut.

    Very pretty. And yet, I am so glad I am not there. I love Maine in the summer (and probably Spring and Fall) but would rather winter in the south. And lately, I would rather be much further south.
