Vermont Snowstorm And Pretty Aftermath, Videos Included

Morning sun shines on snow-laden trees Sunday in St. Albans,
Vermont after a beautiful storm the day before. 

 The snowstorm that hit Vermont a few days ago was much more mellow in northwestern Vermont than in the most of the rest of the state. 

We had somewhat less snow. We had some power outages, but they were fewer and further between than elsewhere. And the outages were quickly repaired up in my neck of the woods.

Of course I took plenty of photos and created videos of the storm and aftermath. 

In Video #1, scroll down in this post to view it,  you can see the storm got off to a fairly good start, but sputtered during the day Friday as temperatures rose above freezing and the wet snow turned to glorified rain. Some of the snow melted.

But, just as forecasters told us, the snow returned in earnest overnight, and we woke up to a winter wonderland.  It was still overcast, with kind of a blue/gray light all day, but it was gorgeous.

Just before sunset at St. Albans Bay Vermont on Sunday,
the day after a picturesque snowstorm hit the area.

The day after, Sunday, brings us to the aftermath. As you can see in Video #2, the sun came out, and it was glorious. The sun unburdened the trees of some of the weight of the snow.  People enjoyed going for snowy walks in the park, or sliding down Hardack Hill in St. Albans.

The view from St. Albans hill showed a big, gloriously clean and white landscape. The day was topped off by a beautiful winter sunset at St. Albans Bay. 

I'm generally not a big fan of winter. But weekends like the one we just had in northwestern Vermont really does make one really appreciate the season. 

So, first here's the video of the actual snowfall this past Friday and Saturday around my house in St. Albans, Vermont. Click on this link if you don't see the image of the YouTube video just below.
