Winter Woes.

2-3-15 SHORT HILLS: Snow, snow, snow keeps coming, and I, for one, have a bad case of winter weariness. The last dose of several inches was mixed with freezing rain followed by severe cold so all the trees and shrubs are still bent over with a weight of ice. And—more is predicted. Broken branches will be revealed in mid-March which seems to be forever away.

The dogs had me up before 7 AM. They were out in the pre-dawn, single digits air and were reluctant to come in for breakfast. Maizie enjoys a nap in the snow, and Gus likes nothing so much as a back scratching squirm on the ice. The sky was pink along both the eastern and western horizons.


Sunset a few days ago.

Today - sky color before dawn in the east....

And the west.
