My Winter Wonderland, Part II

Last Wednesday, I shared some photos from home of the “Winter Wonderland“. I had so many photo’s that I wanted to share, I really had to break them up. Here is Part II! A few of these are some of my favorite photos that I have ever taken. I hope you enjoy.

My Winter Wonderland (Part 1)

Christmas 2013 didn’t quite feel like Christmas until I started to see the snow but waking up in Vermont Christmas Day morning, oh I can’t even begin to express how nice it felt. My first sight out the window was breathtaking!

Christmas Day 2013

Granted, a few short days before I arrived, an ice storm ravaged the area (read more about it here). Although there was damage, it left some areas looking absolutely beautiful. So beautiful I’ve had to break this down into two posts. Here are some photos from my time at home. I hope you love them as much as I do. I was blessed to grow up in a beautiful place!

Vermont Ice Storm 2013

Over the holiday’s, I headed back up north to Vermont. When I arrived, I had just missed the ice storm that took out power, phone lines and many, many, many trees. Although the ice made everything look like a winter wonderland, there was a lot of damage.

TitleFor this week, I thought we’d take a look at the damage first. Completely different in comparison to the ice storm we saw in Texas at the beginning of the month. The ice was EVERYWHERE!

The following pictures (along with the initial photo in this post) were all taken down one stretch of back road in Berkshire. In my opinion, this road was the hardest hit that we saw and this was about a week after the ice storm. Goes to show how much work needed and was being done elsewhere.

These last few pictures were taken between Berkshire and Enosburg. Hidden drives are now pretty hidden… 251 250 249 247Hopefully, the cold madness stops and everyone can have their electricity, phone lines and properties restored soon!
