Snow on Highway 243
This past Wednesday we had three groups coming up to the camp from the Cerritos area. Due to unfortunate timing all three groups started up the mountain during a freak Snow Storm and got stuck about five miles from camp. I spent the better part of the evening driving back and forth in our Explorer (which has four wheel drive) to rescue the campers and their gear. Nobody out here has winter tires and the road crews don't respond with as much vigor and experience. Plus the motorists aren't snow savvy. In all we got about 4-6 inches in an hour.The storm lacked the endurance of one from the northeast, but it was a pretty furious hour.

THOSE WHO LIVE IN VERMONT, AS ME AND MINE DO, HOLD THE EASTERN SHORE IS THE BETTER OF THE TWO, BUT EVEN WE CONCEDE NEW YORKERS HAVE THE BETTER VIEW

For some reason I really enjoyed watching your 5-minute "movie" of driving up the mountain in the snow. --Perhaps, because I'm sitting here in Western, NY and my outdoor thermometer is reading: 51!
Crazy.
