It was quite a winter in much of the US. A record number of storms rolled across the south and pumped up though New England. Boston had no place to put all the snow. We have had our share of cold and snow in the northern part of New York.
I’m going to tell you about the weekend of Feb. 13-16 (including Friday the 13th)
and how proper planning, monitoring, understanding logistics, and
resources can help you confidently manage the challenges of the weather
and even enjoy it! In this story (all true), I offer examples of some
fairly basic practices for personal comfort and protection that relate
to our discipline.
I have written before about our family
hunting lodge in the Adirondack Mountains. Many cousins and friends
gather there each fall to enjoy the woods; share some great foods and
drink; and repair, enhance, and maintain the facilities. We also make a
trip or two up there in the winter to snowshoe, cross country, and
downhill ski.
