Weathersfield News Feb 4 #WeathersfieldVT #VT

It's Monday morning. The snow is falling. And I'm experiencing a HUGE Super Bowl hangover-not from alcohol but from drama. The TV ads, the halftime show and one amazing Super Bowl that came down to the last 20 seconds of the game. For those of you who aren't football fans-skip down to the town news. Football fans read on.

After the Seattle Seahawks made this impossible catch, they knew they had back to back Super Bowls in their talons. But for some reason, a reason that folks will be Monday Morning Quarterbacking for years to come, Coach Pete Carroll decides that on the one yard line, his quarterback, Russell Wilson will attempt a pass to score the winning touchdown. Mind you,  Marshawn Lynch-one of the leagues best running backs is in the game. But a pass play was called in after timeouts by each team. The pass is intercepted by a rookie free agent out of West Alabama, Malcolm Butler and the New England Patriots win by four points. Folks in New England who went to bed early missed one of the most exciting games I've ever watched. Line up the duckboats.
My prediction Sunday morning.

This past weekend I covered a Gourmet Cheese Tasting at the Sustainabel Farmer in Windsor.
And Hartland's Famous Roast Beef Suppers.


Captured this image on Sunday after snow shoeing around my neighborhood...a crododile sleeping-or it just my imagination.


All in all a great weekend.
