I was really hoping to get out of town this weekend, but once again the winter weather has defeated me. 🌨

It looks like based on the forecast that Brookfield is getting a half inch of ice today and 7 1/2 inches of snow tomorrow, and it will have a low of negative 2 on Saturday. There is no way in hell I’m getting my truck back to even the Moscow Hill Horse Camp for an overnight and not getting stuck, even if I could off the road. Plus negative two is much too cold.

And then Johnsburg forecast for camping off NY 8 is even more of a joke. They’re getting a third of an inch of freezing rain plus 8 inches of snow tomorrow. That’s on top of the foot of snow they already have, so not much of a chance of parking anywhere along NY 8. And it’s going to be negative 11 degrees on Saturday night.

So I think I can safely cross off going camping this weekend. But alas, only 3 weeks to March and 10 weeks until April 15th. Before you know it, summer weekends up at Piseco-Powley Road will be back or so I tell myself.
