The second snow in October in the Capital Region, NY

This time we got lucky! The Saturday storm that paralyzed the Northeast and dumped more than 20 inches of heavy snow in some places was very kind to us. We got about eight inches of white stuff, and we did not lose our electricity. Since we live at a high elevation (above 1000 feet) our trees did not have as many leaves on them as trees in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where power outages are widespread. We have not had any damage, and once again we got to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Today the temperature was in high 40s, and a lot of snow has melted already.

I was surprised how many hunters called this afternoon for tracking services. They were hunting last night despite the poor weather. As usually, John is out tracking...

Sunday morning around sunrise


Our puppy pen this morning.
Joeri and Bella playing together in the October snow.

  
Apples which we grow mainly for deer were covered in snow this morning.

This is the snow hanging off our barn roof. It will eventually come all the way down.

Your are a good photograper Jolanta!! I heard about your snowstorm in our news and I also watched CNN. I hope we wont get early snow this year like last year. We have hunting season to last January.

What a pretty snow! Joeri and Bella seem to be having a ball together. I love to walk in the woods in the snow, it is such a peacefull feeling. Thanks for the winter wonderland photos, keep warm!

Love the photos and hope you don't see any damage. You've got such a great eye for the pictures and of course those pups are adorable no matter what!
