I woke up yesterday morning to one of my favorite things: The white, fluffy blanket of the winter wonderland that is now Saratoga Springs. It snowed overnight the night before Thanksgiving and throughout the day in the season’s first real snowfall. When all was said and done, Mother Nature had blessed us with 7 inches […]
