Frozen Switzkill ...

While the snow and ice is long gone in the city, in the bitter coldness of the hilltowns this weekend not only could you find frozen creeks, many of the lakes where frozen over including Tompkins Lake. I didn't spend much time walking the Switzkill as there was a hunter up in a tree stand and I didn't want to bother them and it was bitterly cold and had more back roads to explore in my property search.
