Vermont's first major snowstorm of the season arrived late Tuesday night, and I realized this morning that I am woefully unprepared for winter. My snowtires are still sitting in the garage, I need a new pair of boots, and my winter gear is packed away somewhere in storage.At least I got around to ordering some winter sweaters and outerwear for Phoebe last week. But otherwise, my prep for the season has been pitiful.
Still, it's nice to have some snow on the ground just as we get into the holiday season. The ski areas are gearing up as well. Stowe, Okemo, Sugarbush and Jay Peak are all opening this week. They join Killington, which opened in late October. You can find details and the latest conditions at www.skivermont.com.
Whether you're out on the mountain this weekend or spending time with loved ones at home, I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Snow cover gives me a kind of majestic feeling and an imaginary experience of being in a fictional or far off world. Everything seems to be special and uncommon. Wishing to snow here pretty soon!

Wow, that looks beautiful! I've been to 34 states, but Vermont is not one of them. Would sure like to make it there one of these days.
