West Branch Reservoir
The West Branch Reservoir dam is located about 6 miles from my house. For most of the year it stands dormant. But when it comes alive it is something to behold.
The Aftermath
“What good is the warmth of summer without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?”
-John Steinbeck
I took these photos the day after the second nor easter dumped 19.5 inches of the white stuff on us.
It’s Blowing And Snowing!
Call me crazy, but in the middle of our second nor easter in a week, I decided to head outside to take some pictures. The storm was raging and even though It was dark and I was more than a wee bit cold, I braved the elements to get these pictures!
In the moments when the wind slowed to a dull roar, being outside in the snow was very peaceful. The sound of the snow falling provided me with a sense of peace and some tranquility.
A Hike Before The Rain
When I checked the weather this morning, it said a high in the 50’s with rain after 5pm. At the start of the hike it was 46 degrees and mostly sunny. As I made my way through the park, it got cloudier and cloudier, with rain falling on me for the last 25 minutes.
With that said, it was still a beautiful hike for the 24th of February. It could have easily been 20-25 degrees colder with some type of frozen precipitation either falling or on the ground.

During the summer this stream was dry, even after rain storms.

My favorite picture of the day!
Happy Hiking!!!

The Next Day…
The same backyard as yesterday. The tree that was centered in the B & W photo is now to the right. What a difference a day makes! By Wednesday it will be in the 60’s.
Crazy, Crazy Weather
My backyard before a snowstorm this evening. Two days from now the temps will be in the 50’s. Crazy!

Wow…It’s cold outside!
The last few days here in Mahopac, NY have been brutally cold. Daily highs have been in the teens with lows close to zero. To add insult to injury, tonight it looks like the temperature is going to drop to below zero!! The picture in this post was the first thing I saw when I decided to venture outside today. Needless to say, I was met with a biting cold that literally stole my breath. So I took a picture and I hope that it conveys just how cold it is here!
Let me know if the picture reflects the bitter cold that I experienced.
