On the North Branch of the Winooski River
Last week, I went to Montpelier, Vermont to visit my parents for Christmas. A couple of days into the trip, I went out and walked up and down the North Branch of the Winooski River. It was cold out, especially coming from Texas, but it was well worth it. Here are some of my favorite photos from that excursion.
Downtown Montpelier
Note that there are buildings over the river. Pretty nifty.

Buildings Along the Winooski River
Ice floes on the stagnant part of the river.

You can tell that this building was expanded a while back. Notice the variation in the color of the brick.

I looked these over again. I got up to eight inches on fresh snow.
