Turning the page on Winter 2010/2011

Though Mother Nature says there are still a few weeks of winter left at various higher elevations, and I'll certainly be playing in the snow for a few more weeks this winter, I'm going to call this the official end of winter for this blog. Yep, on April 5th, a full two weeks after the calendar said it's spring and almost a month following the vernal equinox, Mountain Visions is slowly making the transition to another fine Northeastern US season; spring!

For what it's worth, while walking around Peebles Island State Park and Waterford, we did see some crocuses popping up. Spring is coming, even if it's still very much winter in many places around the region! 

Enjoy a few images from this winter's adventures!

Another Beautiful Day In The Northeast

Just a shot from my drive to work on the camera phone. Unlike the rest of the wimps and bad drivers that thankfully weren't on the road, I woke up today excited to see about 6 inches of fresh powder.

Conveniently I just had my new tires put on yesterday and was excited to test them out. 68 miles of mixed driving today, including interstate, state highways, and hillly and twisty backcountry roads. Fun!

Plus, the added bonus of a little fresh powder for some local xc skiing tonight and tomorrow!

My advice to those who don't wake up all excited to see fresh snow during the winter is it's time to move to a place without four splendid and equally long seasons!

Don't worry in just 4 months you will be complaining about the 90 F degree heat!
