December 19, 2019

Dec 19(Thurs)

Early am snow showers remained, but quickly cleared out. Leaving behind blue skies and ice covered trees in what was about as beautiful as a winter gets. 9.5 out of 10. Snow depth could be greater and the long range forecast could look much better. That slightly dampened the beauty of today, but not really.
