Before the Cold Sets In


The coldest weather in many years is headed this way. It should be here in a few days. Today is seasonably cold - temperatures in the mid-20s with sun and high clouds. Yesterday's four inch snowfall is coating the trees. Although the photo is taken from inside my living room, it's a fine winter day to be outside.

Ice Storm



Hours of freezing rain have left a fine ice glaze on all the trees of my hill of home. We can expect a slow melting as the temperature has reached freezing as these pictures are taken.

First Good Snow


I love a good snowstorm. It may, in fact, be my favorite thing in all the world. Our best snowfall so far this season occurred on December 19, 2008. The image is from my living room.

These were taken October to December 2008 and show Faraway Farm and the entrance to Arcadia Farm, among others in this pocket of Yorktown. Click on photos to enlarge.
