November Frost and Sun
November 19, 2009
All of this sunshine is such a surprise. November in New England can be a dreary mix of gray, gloom, rain and sleet. Needless to say, the 11th month is one I occasionally dread.
But lately the sky seems exceptionally cheerful and bright, making these past few weeks some of the most beautiful we’ve seen all year.
Temperatures have recently dipped into the 20s at night, only to warm up considerably during the day. Each morning we wake up to a thick layer of frost, which covers Vermont’s hillsides with an icy glaze before the sun quickly melts it away.
Frost covers flowers in our yard.

Matt — yes, it’s Camel’s Hump in the distance. The photo was taken in Montpelier.
