Before I complete our update for the end of last week, let me share that Winter Storm Bruce hit today and is supposed to continue tomorrow. We are not in the line which will receive the most snow, so, for us, mostly a non-event. Though all day Monday, it rained… and rained… and rained… washing…

What a weekend we had! Yes, we had the snow two days before Thanksgiving when I told you about our scant six inches.  Well, the day before Thanksgiving was an absolute glorious snow day. Tuesday night, as we slept, the world fell silent as magical snowflakes floated down from the heavens. We woke Wednesday morning…

This will be our last post for this week of Thanksgiving. Our list for things for which we are thankful is endless. At the top of our list, Scott and I give thanks for each one of you that have cared and followed our adventures… your love and support has carried us through some of…

Well, Winter Storm Avery promised between 6” to 18” of snow. Though it did snow all night, I regret to inform you that if we acquired six inches, it was an extremely scant six inches. Sigh But, Saturday night gave us a slight dusting and last night another two inches of that fluffy white stuff.…

I must forgive Mother Nature for our exceptionally warm October (we needed air conditioning about six days) because now She is blessing us with flurries of snow roiling in the air under the command of capricious, Arctic winds… allowing beautiful tiny flakes to drift by…

As my friend said, “Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!” And, we are so grateful that it is… We had a tiny dusting Saturday, then, last night we received two to three inches of that glorious white stuff!  While I heard many complaining about the cold, all I could think was, “It…

As my loyal followers know, I am a pluviophile and a chionophile. For you new to our blog or just not knowledgeable about ‘philes’… a pluviophile is a lover of rain and a chionophile a lover of cold, which ideally includes snow! If we go several days without rain, I find myself studying the Weather…

In New York, as well as many other states, we have a lot of roads that were former trails used by the people native to this land. Today I will share what we are learning about our Revolutionary Trail.  The Revolutionary Trail, which, today is New York Route 5, runs through the Southern Adirondack North…

First… our weather… really, really warm, is not providing snow. We did have about two minutes of what they called winter mix, but all we saw were big fat rain drops. Sigh… Love the rain, but it is time to switch to snow… Some more of our enjoyably named roads…New York highway 29A, locally known…
