Although yesterday’s snowstorm dumped over two feet on our kids at college, we got off comparatively easy with only about 8 inches.
Columbia Ice Field
The Columbia Ic Field is the biggest patch of ice outside the poles. It sits very thickly on top of this mountain range in Jasper, spilling down the sides in glaciers. The melt off from this ice sheet goes into all the watersheds of the world, poised as it is on the continental divide.
Photos from a Palm Sunday Walk
I love the recognition and triumph of Palm Sunday. Hosanna in the highest! After a lovely church service, I went on this contemplative hike by myself in Huntington State Park, where the lakes have not yet thawed.
Black and White Snow Photos
Yes, it has been still snowing here, regardless of the calendar changing to March. However temperatures have risen, and now 22 degrees feels like a heat wave, so we are hopeful anyway that spring is around the corner.

Snow drifting in a blanketed hush heaps of glistening powder blindingly bright insulates lives; pristine and snug, quiet and still. Then with an overlay … Read more
A Bit Exciting but Thankfully Uneventful
Well, our son was supposed to return from Winter Camp at Crystal Lake tomorrow, but because of this snow storm (some say blizzard) on the east coast
Snow Photos from ”Nemo”
We only got 20 inches of snow, but I know people in Connecticut that got 36 and 40 inches. I guess that’s enough for folks to feel a need to name this storm?
Photos of Today’s Unremarkable Snow
What is more remarkable than this snow was the 5o degree weather we had last weekend! These photos were taken as “drive by shootings” with my iPhone on the…
Early Photos of October Snow
Yesterday we got 10-16 inches of snow. It was odd to see snow on the trees while they still had leaves. Today, many branches are down due to the weight of all the snow that was captured by those leaves. We are without power for the indefinite future… When just the first two inches were … Read more
