So we went to the funeral in Watertown, but a winter storm moved in, and we had to stay over an extra day before coming home. The thing is, in the North Country, it may not be the amount of snow that falls - I think the total was only 8 inches. It is the howling wind that blows snow across the roads, causing "whiteouts" that obscure the road so thoroughly that you can't see ten feet in front of you. Several of the people who live in Watertown said "Do not even THINK of driving home in this weather." So we drove home today on completely clear roads, while surrounded by a winter wonderland, on Route 81, between Watertown and Syracuse. They were expecting another 7 to 14 inches of snow tonight!

Very pretty scenes! I appreciated the Watertown posts and the comments you made about the area and Sister Victorine and the clan from Watertown. Though I was young, I remember hearing stories of fun on the farm with them from my mom and then meeting many of them, including Sister Victorine, in 1978 at the family reunion. They were kind and welcoming. The photos made me think back. Trace
Hi Trace: Thank you for your lovely words, and memories of the Watertown clan and fun on the farm.
