Woo woo woo, snow! At least 10" here on our lawn, and even more when you go up to one of the notches. We headed to Crawford Notch yesterday, to the Gibbs Falls trail. Actually, the Gibbs Falls trail is more accurately titled "the Crawford Path, but you turn around after you get to the Falls".
The snow was deep (18" or so in the more open areas, and 12"-14" in the woods), and we were the very first people on the trail. Lookie here:
Man oh man, it was so pretty. Hard walking, because breaking trail is tough in deep snow, but totally worth it! Granted, when we finally got to Gibbs Falls, it was completely buried and we couldn't see a thing. We could hear some water running under there, but the snow hid all the ice falls. So we sat down on a rock (HELLO, that was cold), drank some nice hot tea, and headed back.
We didn't see any animals (and hardly any tracks, even), but there are tons of tracks all over our yard this morning, so the animals must be coming to terms with all this snowfall. Me, too.
