First task
this morning was to build a snowman. The
benefit of the rain was that it made the snow wet and so it’s much easier to
pack into shape now. Dry snow is useless for building snowmen.
Then we went
back to Chikopee ski hill to have coffee in the restaurant overlooking the
slopes. It was very quiet today – not so good for the staff. They had lots of
staff on in the cafeteria and restaurant, expecting a big Saturday crowd, but
very few people were out. Two reasons for this: it’s raining and miserable and
it’s the last shopping weekend before Christmas. Staff were looking rather
bored, texting, making paper planes! Many looked young, so probably college
students earning a dollar. Our waitress was Brandy, only her second day on the job - a lovely girl, who had spent a holiday in Australia, so she enjoyed chatting with us.
We’ll spend
the rest of the day indoors because it’s grey and miserable outside. It’s
already icy on driveways, so you have to be careful walking. The freezing rain
is expected around 4.00pm and will continue till noon tomorrow.
