Winter continues to reign here in Saratoga Springs, where we got nearly half a foot of snow yesterday. It looks and feels like January all over again, shining sun aside. After coming in from walking the dogs this morning, the 9 degree air temperature, with a Feels Like of -5°, made my fingers numb through […]

Following our 3-hour trip home from Hoboken today, Jen and I were greeted by a foot of fresh snow at home. This is the most snow we’ve had to date as homeowners. And today I learned what it’s like to really be a homeowner in the Northeast — winter style. For the first time, I […]

It’s just a tad cold here in the north country today. The treemometer isn’t always honest with me, though, I’ve realized. This morning it shows right around 0, while the bank I drove past earlier showed -7 and Yahoo Weather shows -6 and “feels like” -25. Let me just tell ya: That’s cold. I think […]

Soft, light, fluffy. Not too cold. Not too wet. The perfect snow fell over night and continues to come down this morning. There’s nothing that energizes me more or gets me out of the bed with such enthusiasm like a good snow. Perfect skiing snow. Perfect stand outside and stare up to the heavens while […]

Dear California Friends: Aren’t you jealous that you don’t get to partake in the ass-cold Northeast winters like I now do? My treemometer reads 8 degrees this morning and the Weather Channel tells me it’s -1 degree (maybe my treemometer froze?) and feels like -26 degrees. That’s right, my friends: Feels like minus twenty-six degrees […]

One year ago today I wrote a pretty comprehensive blog entry about my first impressions of Saratoga Springs. I had just returned from a three-day trip to the town that’s now been my home for nearly a full year. Time really flies when you’re having fun. Everything I wrote in that post about having a […]

Yesterday my long-awaited snow came and came and came. It snowed all day long, turning my town into a winter wonderland. It’s just so pretty. I can’t help myself but feel like a giddy 6-year-old on Christmas morning. And the moment I’d long been waiting for finally arrived yesterday: Using my snow blower! It was […]

There’s nothing that energizes me quite like snow. And not too long ago (it’s about 8am right now) the wonderful white flakes began to appear. I threw on my snow pants (which I tend to wear all winter long), coat, and ran outside to frolick. I covered our air conditioning unit with the car cover […]

Yesterday afternoon shortly after 2pm I peered out my window with sheer delight as the first white flakes of wonder came floating down from the sky. It was short yet furious and the thermometer showed only 40, so nothing stuck to the ground just yet. Nevertheless, I called Jen at work and left her an […]

Waking up and seeing the ground blanketed in white for the first time of the season is one of the most magical, invigorating feelings. That moment should come along any day now. In fact, yesterday afternoon we had some slush, and snow overnight was possible, so I excitedly peeked out the window this morning in […]
