Although the Hudson Valley did not receive the large amounts of accumulation like some regions of CT and eastern Suffolk County, it happened to be the largest storm of the year for us. It had been so long since I've been out in deep, fresh snow. There's really nothing like it.
Today I headed up to the Ferncliff Fire Tower. The lot had not been plowed, but having 4W Drive, I took a chance. This is the time of year to take advantage of that feature. It appeared I was not the first to be heading up the trail. But I was the first to do it by foot. A Four Wheeler beat me up.
It was quite a windy day. Here's some video I took off Route 9 in Livingston.
Nice day to be out.
ReplyDeleteYou blog is looking good. Where's the background picture from? Crazy to think how much energy is wasted being transmitted through lines that travel hundreds of miles across nothing.
ReplyDeleteI like the pic of the bridge. Where the hell was that ship going? Looked like a lot of ice, too much for even a ship like that.
Energy being wasted transmitting through lines that travel across miles of nothing? There could be people living there that need power too, you know!
ReplyDeleteAmazing location. A beautiful, mystical and magical experience in viewing these photographs. Thank you for sharing them with so many and especially those of us who haven't visited this place. Hillwalk Scotland West highland way
