MILTON â The Milton Academy security guard tried to dissuade visitors.
âThereâs no sledding here now,â said the stern-faced security guard. âThey are plowing the parking lots.â
But somehow more than 25 joyous kids and a few parents found their way through knee-deep snow drifts early Thursday afternoon to the hill at the Ayer Observatory. Ascending toward the sky provided an appropriate setting, because although falling snow limited the view, emotionally everybody was already in heaven.
