Wishing......

All a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving Holiday!

Don't do like I have done way to many times and forget  to leave room for pie.

For those of you that may be in the Old Forge area  this weekend is Christmas on Main Street.  It's a fun event that is sure to kick start your holiday season.  www.adkchristmasonmain.com

Four Cams.......

Four of the cams on www.oldforge.net work off of the same DSL connection and it is down.  It went off line Friday morning in the early AM and it hasn't come back on.  I walked into the office at McCauley Mountion this morning and tried to reset it, but no luck.  So for now the three cams at McCauley and the trail cam will be off line.

It's starting to drop........

in more than one way.  The temps have been dropping to below freezing a few mornings already and we had ice pellets in the air once this week.  The national weather service posted that they won't be giving us frost warnings any more for this season till next spring, as we have a killing frost this week.  So it won't be long now and the white stuff will be flying agian here in the north.

Who's the wise guy?

That put in an order for snow? Late last night it was snowing and sticking to the cars and this morning this is what the top of McCauley is looking like. It's OK if you want it and you're welcome to it. But please don't order it for us! It was really getting nice here in the north country and spring was on it's way.

Who said......

winter is over and spring is here? The last few days we have had snow on and off and this morning we woke to white yards. This time of the year when the weather is like this, it's hard to stay warm. As it's that cold damp type of weather that goes right through you. It's not going to stay like this long as it looks like 60's by the weekend. I hope so as I'm colder now than I have been all winter.

Take a look.......

I was hoping for.........

one more shot of winter and snow to get that last ride of the season in, but it never happened. So it's time to pack the sleds away till next year.

Most years by now everyone in the area is looking to get away for a few days and enjoy some warmer weather. But this year it's been so nice it makes you wonder why you would even want to leave.
