Blizzmageddon 2010 !

Here's a quick time-lapse I built over the course of about 2 days or so encapsulating the nasty little storm we had that cancelled work for 2 days and dumped about 2-feet of snow on us. The interval is 1 photo every 5 minutes, but sadly the real heart of the storm came overnight, so it's a little hard to see the real accumulation.

Fire !

It’s always odd to hear sirens rushing by the house at 2AM.  You wake and wonder if it’s the soundtrack of a nightmare or real.  Sad to say, last night it was real.  We awoke to see quite a sight across the far side of the lake from our house.  Not sure of the cause yet, but it’s a safe bet that on a cold Feb night, someone probably had a heating failure of some sort.  Thankfully only one person lived there and he made it out.  The house is of course a total loss and as of first sighting, the flames were 60+ feet high.  The hand held, through the window, maximum zoom photo does it no justice, but you get the idea.

Feb 2010 Nor'Easter SnowStorm

We had a "little" snow last week so I decided to time-lapse it. The snow started overnight so it's not as interesting as I originally hoped...but still fun to watch. In the end it was about 18-inches, but be sure to check out the icicle forming just after dark on the first night.

Who Said You Can’t Grow Potatoes in Feb?

When we stopped in to buy our Christmas tree back in mid-December, our local gardening and greenhouse guru made a funny face when I mentioned we were growing potatoes.  He even repeated back to me “POTATOES?”  Well in the immortal words of Gomer Pyle, “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!”  I bring you fresh greenhouse potatoes…
