Haze On First Day Of Winter
From Rim Rock
Remembering the Ice Storm ’08
Notes on the Re-Run for Tuesday, December 6th.
— Andy
Throughout Friday, freezing rain, sleet, and snow came down, covering the State Capitol and surrounding building with a layer of ice.
The ice weighted down trees and made everything look “wet”, but it did not pile up all fluffy like we think of snow being.
Here are the Heldeberg Mountains covered with ice and beauty.
The next morning walking through the woods, covered with ice and beauty at Cole Hill State Forest.
The swamp at Cole Hill was just shimmering in light.
While driving the pickup for a while got the ice melted off the doors, it kept freezing shut, and I had to keep cracking the ice off the doors.
Ice on a Pine Tree at Thatcher Park.
Branches covered with ice where so pretty.
Even when it was on the power lines and knocked out power to thousands.
The Ice Storm of 2008 was so beautiful, even if it did knock out power and close down roads.

We all have times when we feel like a fraud. Psychologist Kevin Cokley studies the corrosive effects of self-doubt, and how we can turn that negative voice in our heads into an ally.

Weather Update – December 15, 2021
This morning started out nice, but rain is expected by evening. 🌦
Today I am working from home, 👨💻 so I won’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain, but I might have to skip my evening walk due to the rain. It doesn’t look like it will last and tomorrow should be nice. Too bad tomorrow it’s back to working back downtown, but the one day of remote work should be fun — and give me a chance to fully recover from my COVID-19 and TDAP shot.
I don’t know about getting out of town on Saturday, ⛈ it looks like rain, but maybe Sunday through at least mid-week. Hard to say how much snow there will be, probably not a lot, but it really could vary especially if I decide to go out to Central NY and Cazenovia. Even though I have new tires and a 4×4, I don’t want to mess with either snow or ice if I can avoid it — might instead go directly to the Finger Lakes, where at least I know the road will be lowed.
Did you notice that tomorrow, we are picking up some daylight in the evening? 🌆 Only a minute, but you have to start somewhere. It will be nice to come home and not be pitch black, especially when walking home from the Park and Ride. Certainly by February — which seems distant, but really isn’t at this point.
