As I write this, it is the first day of Winter. With a predicted high temp of 56 degrees! That should pretty well take care of the rest of our snow. Mighty welcome snow! Here on The Hill, we received about 4”. Sure is good to see a little mud. The Christmas forecast is calling for more nice weather, which in normal years, would be good news for travelers. Thanks to COVID, there won’t be much travel this year.
