12/1/25

I hope that everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. The snow has been granular on Sunday, so easy to sweep away. Killington and Okemo are open for the season, although not all trails are snow-covered yet. Many folks came up for the weekend to enjoy some winter fun. The Plymouth Reading group will be meeting at my house on Wed, 12/3 at 6:30 PM to discuss The Wealth of Shadows by Graham Moore. A zoom option will be available

Roads have been a bit slippery and caution is needed. I want to relay a frightening experience that a friend and I had on Saturday. We were walking on Billings Rd when we saw a vehicle go out of control. it nearly careened off one side of the road, then the driver overcompensated, sending the car off the other side of the road. Jerking the wheel again, it aimed right toward us, causing us to retreat several feet up a bank to get out of harm’s way. Our initial concern had been for the driver, but she never slowed down and continued to weave across the road after missing us. She rounded the corner out of view, so not hearing a crash, we walked back to our cars. A scary reminder that snowy roads need slower speeds to be navigated safely….
