That's an understatement glatt.
Friday I left to get a haircut about noon, it was 46° and snowing lightly at the tail end of 2 days of heavy rain.
Haircut and a quick stop for a couple things at the grocery store,
Got home about 3:45 is was 23° headed for 8° that night.
Got heating oil on Dec 7th which was 52¢ a gallon cheaper than Oct 1st... yes cheaper.

Finally getting crisp around here. Took a buddy skiing at Greek Peak yesterday, Pete and I are going again this morning before continuing the clean out project.

What used to happen normally every winter. Is now so rare as to be major news story.
And sill no ice on lakes or streams. Ice was routine every winter in the good old day.
One reason for building the Brooklyn Bridge. So that people could get off Manhattan island during winter. Because the Hudson and East Rivers would freeze over every winter.
But global warming does not exist. A right wing extremit Senator from Oklamhoma said so. So it must be true.

Schools were shut down Tuesday-Thursday for an ice storm, then again on Friday for major tree damage blocking the parking lot. Today, Sunday, it is 60 degrees outside.

So you got to spend some quality time with the family, did you take the kids out dumpster diving?

A bunch of folks got rope rescued off a lift while Pete and I were there, but we missed out. Sunday we got two xc ski loops in but that cover is doomed this week. The move North is looking smarter.

One of my old clients runs a food rescue organization locally, that photo would make her absolutely crazy.
