Yesterday’s snow and sleet storm laid down about six inches of wet, heavy snow here in a storm that created many moods. Here are three of them, as we look across the North Field to Great Cove and Babson Island: the first is yesterday morning’s falling snow and sleet; the second is yesterday afternoon’s sun trying to break through, and the third is early today, when bright sun returned to take command:
The lanes to hidden houses and the out-back woods became black-and-white etchings:
There was some color and contrast among the houses and barns, although a cord of wood nearly disappeared under snow
The deer didn’t seem to be bothered; they mostly munched on bushes and small trees rather than nose through the wet snow looking for grasses.
The Town Office provided some color and the Cemetery was picturesque in a Poe-like way, although Naskeag Harbor was a bit bleak..
By dusk yesterday, the sun was breaking through and the deer were cautiously entering the North Field.
