That winter that wasn’t I wrote about just 11 days ago finally arrived with a vengeance. We had at least half a foot of fresh powder on Saturday, so it finally looks like winter, even though tomorrow’s already March and spring is just around the corner, unbelievably. It’s also been pretty damn cold the past […]

What a difference a face makes — when you can feel it, that is. Despite the sun peeking out from behind the clouds, yesterday was a bitterly cold day in Vermont, where I hit Pico for an afternoon on the slopes. The mountain had received two feet of fresh powder, so that part I loved. […]

I’ve loved squirrels for as long as I remember. They’re funny and cute and athletic. I love watching them sit on their haunches and chew their nuts. I love watching them go flying from tree to tree. And seeing them taunt my dogs as we walk around the neighborhood or hang out in the backyard. […]

Our three-day power outage ended last night. It was a frustrating and eye-opening experience, and we learned a lot about things like generators and surviving in the Northeast without power in the winter. We were mostly comfortable — we had hot water, flushing toilets (if you’re on a well, you don’t have any running water, […]

Little did I know the irony that my blog entry from Friday morning would bring (The Winter That Wasn’t), for later on that day a near-hurricane storm (more typical in this area in the summer than in the winter) ripped across northern New York state, with winds recorded as high as 67 miles per hour […]
