Today marks the second day of the winter when we’ve had snow. That’s good, because until this point it’s been largely a snowless winter, and last year was pretty snowless.

But snow is both essential to the economy, the environment, and way of life in New York State. It provides a surface for skiers, snowmobilers, and snowshoers to get back into the woods.

It refreshes the natural environment, by insulating the ground, while killing off excessive deer, mice, and ticks.

… So yeah, to another snowy day!
