 | Comments: |
Similar conditions to those we reported a week or so ago, but now there's an inch to two inches of fresh snow.
Light traction was helpful to avoid any icy patches that are now obscured by the new snow. Snow is melting pretty quickly, though.
Goose Pond looked lovely with its new snow cover. |
