Still Snowy

I don't know if this snow is going to melt. Woke up at 6:00 AM and it was 22 F. I see online people are snowboarding up at Belleayre Mountain. All last winter there were maybe two days you could have had a decent snowshoe experience in my neck of the woods and for three days straight we have snow. About an inch fell this morning. I didn't shovel because I assumed it would be gone by now. My cheap ice packed gutters are threatening to break under the strain and my Halloween demon's teeth are chattering.

The big fear is we get a warm day combined with a heavy rain, then we have a real Catskill flood and those can be devastating. That can play hell with Rt. 49 A leading up to Belleayre. But, I'll think positive thoughts, positive thoughts, positive thoughts . . .
