Another beautiful set of winter scenery, Cindy! And of course there is always (hopefully!) somebody to help.

Thanks and sometimes up that way ...you might be stuck for a while before help arrives! That's why we always have chains, shovels and extra food when we head that way.

And it's not even winter...yet. We call that bone break cold.

Your right....it's not even winter yet so not sure what Mother Nature has in store for us when winter really hits!

Another first class set, Cindy! It is rare that I see photos that make me feel warm here.

During our 20+ years living in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains of NY, it never ceased to amaze us that so many people never seemed to remember how to negotiate snow and ice-covered roads, especially during the 1st snowfall which occurred as early as late September. More often than not 4-wheel drive vehicles were ones we saw most in the ditches!

We have had a huge influx of new arrivals this past couple of yrs and I would say 80% of them have no experience winter driving....we are always pulling new comers out of the ditches. And they tend to think since they have 4-wheel drive they can go the speed limit even when it's icy!

I knew everyone would enjoy going on a Sunday Drive up there. We are always prepared to pull someone out when we head up that area....it never fails that we come across someone in the ditch (we have been there as well before....shhh....don't tell anyone). Almost all of the mountain peaks you see, I have been to the top of them when we had our horses or on the snowmobiles...it' a blast playing in that playground!

I can hear the snow squeaking while walking through the second.

It was squeaky and you could see the ice crystals in the air but I couldn't get them to show up in a photo!

Thanks Dodie....did you notice how tall that road marker is....this area gets hit with feet and feet and feet of snow every year.

Since it was so cold today....about 4....we decided just to take a nice Sunday drive up the North Fork. I always enjoy the scenery up there, the north fork road runs from Columbia Falls Mt to the Canada border along the boundaries of Glacier National Park.
