Most of our fields here are covered with snow that is topped with an inch or two of ice meringue, which is hard enough to hold sharp-toed deer.
The images here were taken yesterday, a beautiful sunny day.
That has changed; it’s gray and trying to snow again as we speak. Soon, we may have fields of old snow under old ice under new snow, which can be tricky to walk on, even if you have four pointy feet. (Brooklin, Maine)
