It's bitterly cold and the old dog doesn't want to go outside. Strangely, WeatherUnderground says that the real feel is -6º! How is that possible?

Thankfully, the heat is on and the Nordic fireplace is cooking along.

Stay safe, redwitch.

Our place is actually in Damascus, PA. It's less than a quarter mile across the Delaware river from the village of Callicoon. We spend as much time there as we can. The area is so beautiful. But right now, it's fiercely cold!

to swim in the Delaware River. Damascus was one of the best locations because there was a little "side pond" which was perfect for the kids. After one of the major storms, the landscape was changed and was not the same. =( There was also that cute ice cream parlor on 371 that we missed very much when it closed.

I have not spent any time up there in the winter...my place is seasonal. It's bad enough down here so I KNOW how cold is up there....brrrrrrrrr is right.

But it's going up a to balmy 30º!

Barryville's a cute village and we occasionally go to Narrowsburg to eat. I know the little "side pond" you wrote about. Our place is upstream and we frequently raft or inner-tube to that spot to exit the river.

Although we primarily live in NYC, we've been spending more and more time in the country. With the internet, my business can operate almost anywhere and we love the beauty and quiet.

35. No golf this week

Jan 2018

The two things I loved about the 25 years I lived in Glen Cove are the waterfront/beaches and the vast array of public golf courses. They're reasonably price, well-maintained and easily accessible. Many of the courses are open year-round provided there isn't any snow. You just have to dress warmly!

I have often wondered what kind of psychological test one has to pass to be stationed there in the winter. Do you think they have Netflix?

At 5 yesterday morning it was minus 15. At 5 this morning it was 14. Supposed to be 30 today and warming into the 40's this week. We're pretty much straight west of you, so you may be seeing some relief too!

I've always felt like i wanted to experience a full winter in the northeast, but reading stories and seeing pictures of the bomb cyclone is giving me second thoughts!

By the way, 55 degrees currently in Houston area. And i am a wuss and have the heater on. Also, a sweater.
