Ok, this may seem silly, but for as long as I have been riding through bone-chilling Buffalo winters I have not worn any sort of eye protection…I can’t tell you how many snow showers I’ve squinted through. I’ve seen other people biking with ski goggles and thought about that, but then the other day IContinue reading “I Can See Clearly Now”

It’s Been Snowing…For Days
And days and days. It hasn’t been really heavy snowfalls, just constant and light…if it were rain it would be mist. And with the frigid temperatures it has not melted on the streets, not even the main thoroughfares. It’s been slow-going, that’s for sure. Other than driving my truck today (had to deliver a usedContinue reading “It’s Been Snowing…For Days”
Winter’s Beauty
I was on my way walking to the health club tonight (geeze was it cold) when I looked up and saw this tree; it was dusk and I was under a streetlight. It stopped me in my tracks. Its barrenness almost seemed to glow against the backdrop of the nearly-dark sky, with its branches reachingContinue reading “Winter’s Beauty”
Self Portrait
Blue Dusk
This is a photo of my street about 4pm this evening, just before it became dark. It’s interesting how the color blue is associated with cold…and for a reason, it was (I’m guessing) about 9F. Nonetheless, I find the color beautiful. And there’s really only a short time where it is this color…just as itContinue reading “Blue Dusk”
Brrr…
Brrr…it’s cold out there today. When I woke this morning it was a mere 7F…we eventually had a balmy high temperature of 10F (-12c). I had some errands to run and originally thought of doing them by bike…then I thought about it again. Um…I don’t think so. This is frostbite weather…I may be a littleContinue reading “Brrr…”
Biking In The Snow
I like to bike in the snow. There, I said it…call me crazy if you have to. I wouldn’t want to do it all the time, nor do I particularly like to bike in near blizzard conditions (like I did the other day), but on a beautiful winter’s day (or night) I enjoy it immensely…itContinue reading “Biking In The Snow”
Frigid
Well the storm that swept the entire nation–from the west coast straight through to the east–finally barreled through town yesterday and the previous night…bringing with it frigid temperatures. Here’s a picture of “the mule” just before my early morning commute (thankfully I have a mere mile commute these days). And yes it was (is) asContinue reading “Frigid”
More Winter Notes
I know I keep harping on it, but this has been one cold and snowy winter. Sometimes it gets me down (maybe it’s the lack of direct sunlight), but other times I find it truly beautiful…today was one of those times. The snow looked so white and pristine, even in an urban setting. Here’s aContinue reading “More Winter Notes”
Winter and Spicy Stew
Well, Buffalo’s climate is once again living up to its reputation. We got pelted with something like a foot of snow today (judging by the news, so did much of the rest of the northeast). I was out driving in it today (yes, I do use a vehicle now and again) and at points itContinue reading “Winter and Spicy Stew”
