Here it is, another weekend, and we’ve had another storm.
While not anywhere near what we saw a week ago, it was still a dangerous storm. It was an entirely different storm, with the majority of the snowfall up north rather than the south and along the seacoast. This time there was also a lot of sleet and freezing rain. Here at The Gulch we saw a couple of inches of sleet before it turned to snow. It certainly made shoveling more difficult.
The sleet and freezing rain certainly made travel difficult, but we know how to handle it up here. That didn’t mean there weren’t accidents, but there weren’t as many as one might have expected. Then again most folks stayed home rather than venturing out. Because so many already had the means of working from home and a lot of schools were still set up for remote learning, it made sense for people to stay home.
It’s winter up here in New England, and we get snow, sleet, and freezing rain during the winter, so none of these things are surprising. They are things to be experienced and, for some, endured.
