Whole Lotta Snow (and Stowe VT)

18" of snow. Can't even see my picket fence anymore.

























Road Trip with Nephew and Sister.  Stowe VT.











Powder to the People (I didn't make that up) - perfect conditions with lots of new natural snow and low 30's.

Important Valentines Info

So I was in the City, staying in a hotel in Harlem...



and found this gem of information for all you guys out there - (like my one friend said, 'you need a poll to tell you that?')..



Then the 32nd floor of a Big Time Magazine.





And an article that would that have been unheard of just 5 years ago - and something I don't find much reason to cry over -  interestingly, not one mention of the 'anti-gas world will end' environmental folks - it's almost like the world has embraced the political and military freedom domestic energy has created while a small corner of New York still believes that they can convince the rest of us that importing oil and gas (and keeping the environmental degradation at arms length) is somehow morally better than making our own.  

U.S. may be inching toward oil independence

Paul Davidson, USA TODAY1:30 p.m. EST February 9, 2014

U.S. oil imports are down 17% since 2010, helping narrow the trade deficit.
