More Snow - Storm #4 Underway

Library Hill Trees - Feb 6, 2010

West Jefferson Snowstorm a.m. 12.19.2009

UPDATE Saturday morning 10:40 a.m. 12.19.2009: It's here! 20-24" here in NC mountains... a few more inches expected today and tonight. Glorious! Check out my blog and picture essay by clicking above.

Friday night 12.18.2009: Our local weather expert (raysweather.com) is cooking four, count 'em four, predictions for snow events starting tomorrow morning. Just Friday, we're looking at 10-11 inches of snow! YIPPEE! It's going to screw up all manner of things, parties planned, family gatherings, etc. etc. I just can't bring myself to be sorry about that though, rather, I'm going to get up to the cabin today and make sure I have all of my snow toys in order. Check list: x-country skis, boots, snowshoes, cold-weather clothing. YAY!

This award is for NCNR's newsletter which I write and contribute photography to - including the cover shot on this award-winner. Kim Hadley, here in Ashe County, NC, is the graphic artist who puts it all together and makes it so beautiful. Classic Graphics prints it for us, and submitted this entry into the printing industry's competition.


Looking forward, I am meeting some new challenges including recovering from a back injury I conjured up right after the New River Expedition.

On the good news front, I read at Malaprops Bookstore in Asheville, NC, on Friday night, 9.25. If you click on the Working tab above, you can read the essay I read there. Here (above and below) are a couple of pictures Henry took at the reading and there are more pictures from this adventure on the BLOG page.

My friend Neeva sent Ginny and Henry an award for taking care of me during my back injury. Ginny was shy about it at first.

But she came around and decided she liked it. Thanks, Neeva!

Ginny is the new cat assistant.
