When you wake up in the morning and check the weather forecast and it says Low 7 degrees…you know you are in for it! At least the crazy ice storms have stopped, well for now anyways. It is funny how the older I get, the less snow/ice/cold bothers me. I think I have just resigned myself to the fact that living in the northeast means enduring a wicked winter. But it also means being blessed with a breathtaking, unparalleled fall. And believe me, the fall in upstate NY is worth it, worth the snow, ice, sleet and everything else.

The spring unfortunately is always cut too short, or becomes unbearably hot. And the summers are usually spent wishing it was fall already. Fall is my favorite season, without a doubt. So every morning I spend smashing ice sheets off of my windshield or spend 15 minutes warming up my car just so I can touch the steering wheel and emergency break without freezing to it, I will think of a perfect, crisp October day and remind myself that another amazing fall season is just around the corner!
