I note the geographic differences between , "in Vermont, where snow is
generally plentiful at the
proper season" and  "ohshitnotagain" and wonder what the heck "proper" and
"plentiful" mean.

Snow coming this week.  The wet kind...like they get back east...hardly worth
the bother to remove, except that it'll freeze to about 3000psi and sit there
all winter when the plentiful stuff starts accumulating a week later.  Proper
or not, this is the season.

Hope there's no wind when the pond freezes this year.
