Posted in Headlines, New York, tagged , , on 02/01/2011 | 2 Comments »

The local weather dude said that today and tomorrow’s snow storms could be the biggest we have had yet this winter. Yikes! I love the snow, its one of the things I love most about living in upstate NY. But after spending several muscle-aching hours over the weekend removing snow and ice from my roof, [...]

More Winter Fun

Posted in Fun, tagged , on 01/19/2011 | Leave a Comment »

I just had a pants-crapping drive from my home on the side of a mountain to the Amtrak station in Hudson, NY. After a tense drive that included sliding through an intersection, I missed my train and had to repeat that drive back to the home front. I should have turned around three hours ago [...]

Heat Wave

Posted in Country Living, New York, tagged , , on 07/06/2010 | 6 Comments »

One of my least favorite aspects of life in NYC was the summer. We didn’t need a heat wave to make life uncomfortable – all that concrete and glass could easily turn a typical hot day into a sweaty mess, especially if your day began by waiting 10 minutes on a subway platform. Gross. Even [...]

There Must Be Some Toros In The Atmosphere

Posted in Country Living, New York, tagged , , on 09/01/2009 | 2 Comments »

Welcome to September 1 and morning temperatures in the 40s for us up here in the hills of northern Columbia County. I sure am glad I risked electrocuting myself by installing a ceiling fan in the bedroom two weeks ago. Oh well, I guess I can always repurpose the fan blades as fire wood. Here’s [...]

How’s The Weather Down There

Posted in New York, tagged , , , on 01/08/2009 | 7 Comments »

How Was Your New Year’s Eve?

Posted in Holidays, New York, tagged , , on 01/02/2009 | 3 Comments »

I hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve. Mine took an unexpected turn when yet another winter storm forced me to scrap my plans with the gang I’ve rung in every new year with since the 90′s. Luckily some friends in the area convinced me that I couldn’t sit home alone (Thanks again Tony [...]

Roaring Rapids Across Chatham

Posted in New York, tagged , , on 03/10/2008 | Leave a Comment »

After the weekend’s biblical downpour, I’m thinking of building an ark of my own.

On an emergency run to the hardware store, we noticed that many homes along 295 [...]
