First Snow

This morning just as I was headed out of the house to take my grandmother to her weekly hair appointment the heavens opened up their storehouses of snow.

It was really beautiful to drive down route 100 in all that snow, even though I knew it wouldn't last 15 minutes. It makes me happy to think of the coming winter, however mild it may be.

This photograph was taken in 1902, of Vermont snowflakes under a microscope. Amazing.
