Eighteen Inches of Snow in Maine

Sunday, January 3

 

 

When I woke up Sunday morning and looked out the window near the kitchen table, I noticed there was more snow, and several busy snow plows.

 

 

We heard that the area had an accumulated total of eighteen inches during the past few days.

 

 

Because of the melting and freezing there were lots of icicles.

 

 

A scene from the Myers’ parking area – with my back to the vehicles

Because church was canceled, and the weather was supposed to get above freezing later in the day, I decided to go for a walk and photograph some of the beauty.

 

 

Now the previous photo is behind me.

 

 

Snow is making Nathaniel smile, because later in the day (Sunday) he was meeting several friends from Pennsylvania, and traveling north another few hours to go snowmobiling. He has two sleds in the trailer behind his truck.

 

 

I turned left at the end of their driveway.

 

 

 

 

They live near the entrance of a dead end road, which was beautiful on Sunday morning.

 

 

 

 

Looking back toward their house from the railroad tracks.

 

 

The railroad tracks were somewhere under the snow.

 

 

The tracks from the other side of the bridge.

 

 

A neighbor’s unplowed driveway.

 

 

It’s a good thing the mailman didn’t have to deliver mail on Sunday.

 

 

 

 

This old building in the neighborhood looked pretty in the snow.

 

 

 

 

Back at the Myers’, Hezekiah was shoveling at the end of their driveway.

 

 

It was cold, but I could not resist crossing Route 1 and walking east. The first neighbor on the right was creating a pretty scene with his snowblower.
