Cold, Snowy Spring in Vermont

It's nearly a week into spring, but the temperature is staying at or below freezing, the snow isn't melting, buds aren't swelling. It's still winter in Vermont.

The forecast calls for no warm weather in the foreseeable future.

The picture tells the tale. In the spring, I like to watch the sun set from the back deck of my house in St. Albans, Vermont.

Instead, as you can see in the photo, a pale cold light struggled through a snowy haze and bud-free branches Thursday evening just before sunset.

No spring for awhile yet. Sigh.
