Mt. Ascutney…backyard country.

Here’s my wonderful wife, ripping it up behind our house today here in Windsor, VT.  We received 14″ of new snow yesterday, and it looks like we’re in for more tomorrow.

Ripping it in the backyard!

Pico tomorrow!  I’ll fill you in on the conditions.

Yay! iPhone in Vermont….Almost

Well, I thought the day would never come.  And it still hasn’t.  But it seems to be just around the corner.

Looks like the AT&T deal went through and they’ve taken over Unicell.  I think I’ll wait for the iPhone until the next model is released, but I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these babies.

There are all sorts of cool apps available and some such as this sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset et. program which will work great for photographers. Moose Peterson reviews it Focalware here.

Now, does anybody know if there are any good backcountry topo maps available for the iPhone?  That would cinch the deal.

Back in again.

I’m realizing that I just need to set some looser standards for myself. It’s not every day or not at all, it’s quality, not quantity, right?  Well, what better way to get into it than by showing a recent full moon rise over Mt. Moosilauke.  This is from the bridge in Newbury, VT.

Weather Update: Cyclone Sidr could be Really Bad News

I remember listening to the radio the day before Hurricane Katrina hit, and finally comprehending that this could be a disaster of epic proportions. When the typhoon hit a few years ago, it was mind-numbing. And here comes another. It looks like Cyclone Sidr is going to hit Bangladesh and Calcutta packing winds of up to 200mph and 40 foot seas. I’m really nervous that this could be a disaster of epic proportions.

Let’s check in the morning and see how it’s going. To lighten the mood up a little though, looks like we might have our first decent snowfall following the rain tomorrow here.
