Without a doubt, the seasons have changed and phrases like "wintery mix" and "freezing rain" have once again become a consideration when leaving the house in the morning. We don't have a covering of snow here in the metro area, but there have been flurries and the temperature has been toying with single digits (Fahrenheit, thank you very much).
Before Mother Nature gave us a proper smack, she started rather lightly by giving the areas north and west of Boston a sweet dusting of snow. This made for the perfect backdrop when visiting family in Northern Vermont... and cutting down our own tree!
