Until I saw him live last month, Garrison Keillor’s voice always bugged me, especially on the Writer’s Almanac. I also didn’t expect to enjoy A Prairie Home Companion as much as I did. But it was really, really funny, and a wonderful, localized experience. We went for the weekend both to see the show and […]

The winter that wasn’t finally cooled off this week as temperatures dropped to around 20 degrees. It’s still a little dark outside at 7:30am right now, but it’s light enough to see some good-sized snow flakes falling gently from the sky. Is this the winter storm I’ve been hoping and waiting for?

This global warming thing is getting crazy now. Here it is January 6 in the Northeast and it’s 61 degrees and sunny today. What the hell? It snowed once a few days ago, but the snow had all melted by the next day. My grass is still as green as it was in October when […]

This morning I woke up to my favorite thing — a snow-covered ground! Yesterday’s snow didn’t stick, but the thin layer that came overnight most certainly did. Props to Megan for sending me this image after reading yesterday’s blog entry.

Four days into December and snow has finally arrived in Saratoga Springs! I’ve been jealous of all the early season snow that’s hit other parts of the country — Buffalo and Colorado in October, Tahoe and the Midwest during the past few weeks — but I’m grinning my snow grin right now as I look […]

Here it is November 30 in the Northeast and the forecast says it’s going to be 66 degrees here in Saratoga Springs today. What the hell? Oh right, global warming. Speaking of which, my copy of an Inconvenient Truth shipped yesterday from Netflix, so I’m really excited to see that. Regardless, every day I’ve been […]
