It's SNOWING!
A quick check of the weather forecast resources show that our area is right square in the middle of 24+ zone of Winter Storm Nemo; one local video I just saw said that a couple of the latest storm modeling runs suggests we could see as much as 40" of snow by the time it is all done tomorrow.
Hmmm, 40" of what is predicted to be light fluffy snow coupled with wind gusts of up to 50 mph; sounds like fun.
I'll keep y'all posted.

Hmmm, sixty-two sounds too warm for my blood. I just got back from an eight mile trail-run and the only issue I had with the weather was the snowflakes collecting on my eye lashes.

Speaking of that run, here are a few shots:
I rather doubt the folks that built this train line back in the 1840s even remotely imagined it would someday serve as a recreational trail by walkers, runners, horseback riders, and enthusiasts of dirt bikes, ATVs and snowmobiles:
The "Upper Trail":
A long causeway across a large pond; landfall is nearly a mile away:
Looking southeast from the causeway:
And turning around and looking northwest from the causeway (notice to the right the big pine tree recently knocked over by the remnants of Hurricane Sandy):
Four miles in, time to turn around. Notice the crooked smile, the right side of my face was taking the brunt of the wind and oncoming snow and it was a bit numb:
During the summer months sections like this are so dense that it is difficult to figure out where the sun is in the sky (a mercy on hot days):
Evidence of blasting are still visible over 160 years after the fact:

Snow update...
Per a local TV station we've got thirty-inches on the ground and another four hours of heavy snow yet to fall; nicely done Mother Nature!
