The snow had begun in the gloaming ...

... and busily all the night / Had been heaping field and highway / With a silence deep and white -- and this is the view out our bedroom window:

That line on the lower right is eighteen inches of snow on our very steep porch roof. We have lived here 28 years, and I've never before seen such an effect. And there's another storm promised for Saturday, and another after that on Tuesday. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford (one can only  hope for blue skies!)
