That’s how a dairy farmer once told me to look at the winter, as they count the loads of box manure spread on fields until it warms enough for spring tillage and ultimately planting come the warmth and greens of May.
The land has a tangy, sharp smell of cow during this time period in Upstate farm country. Is it a bad smell? I don’t know, it’s the smell of land working, nutrition and fertilizer returned to the land that will continue to support the cattle that produce the milk, the cheese, the beef, fats and meats that are important to both us humans and the livihoods of those who farm it.
Winters really are long in Upstate New York. The months of brown and gray – some days with blue skies – and others with ice and snow are long. The greens of summer are short, what seems like days while the dead kill of frost and winter are long.

Surprisingly enough, much of the Albany - A Plan for the Capital City from 1963 was actually implemented over the years, as seen by this comparison.
A total lunar eclipse is happening Tuesday, and it might be a good time to catch a peek, because the next one isn't for three years.
The initial phase of the eclipse begins at 3:02 a.m. ET, according to NASA. The partial eclipse then begins at 4:09 a.m. ET, when to the naked eye, it looks like a bite is being taken out of the moon. The lunar disk enters totality at 5:17 a.m. ET and will last for about an hour and a half.
People in North America, Central America, Colombia, and western Venezuela and Peru will be able to see the eclipse in totality. Those in Alaska and Hawaii will be able to see all stages of the eclipse.
Clear day, the day before election day. Not much color left.
