The hoar frost on the trees filters the light of the blue skies as I walked along Janis Road on Martin Luther King Day, hiking up to Tassell Hill. While the road is drivable with only a few icy patches, there is something nice about a quiet walk in the woods, observing nature without necessarily motoring.

The intersection of Erie Boulevard at Black River Boulevard in Rome, NY is unique with it's underpass for traffic turning from Erie Boulevard East to Black River Boulevard North. Built over the Black River Canal, they had a natural depression that they could build the underpass under, which helps turning cars navigate the intersection without delay. Only in two directions is there a stop ligth, in all other directions, traffic flows without interruption. To the north is Fort Stanwix.
