We had a good holiday snowfall yesterday and last night. It looks like we got between three and four inches of snow on our patch of Maine coastland. As we speak, the sun is trying to break through a blanket of cloud. Here, you see our South Field at about 10:45 a.m. today – white, black, gray, and silent, with an occasional wind gust of 20 miles per hour or more to certify that Winter has come:

Yesterday, during the height of the storm, Brooklin Cemetery’s Camperdown Elm tried to protect its assigned graves and the Baptist Church across the road was sometimes hard to see:

Here are before-and- after images of the snow on a spruce gathering and the General Store hunkering down:

Country lanes and the Town pier were untraveled and the stephanandra clumps looked like ready to bite glazed buns:
