Wow winter just keeps on coming! We have gotten nearly 36 inches of snow in the past week, and it still continues to fall! It honestly hasn’t stopped snowing for more than a few hours at a time since the storm hit last week!

So between snowboarding in POWDER (yep that stuff we don’t see on the East Coast very often) and cooking, I somehow manage to have to fight cabin fever off with a camera! I guess that’s just the life of a photographer. Anyways, the one day we had blue skies for a few hours I ran out side and grabbed some photos of the farm I grew up on.

After a drive that typically takes me an hour took me more than twice that long, I ended up getting stuck on the road to my parents house and had to walk the last half mile through more than 18 inches of snow. The next day I got my car out of the snow and headed to Seven Springs for some great skiing. After I could barely stand from hours of riding powder, the sun came out and I had a chance to take some photos around my parents house as the sun was setting.

I even got some photos of Willie my Welsh Corgie enjoying the snow in the driveway because it was to deep for him where it wasn’t plowed.

Happy Snowy Saturday!

Finally, winter has arrived in Western Pennsylvania. After a beautiful Wednesday afternoon with a high temperature of 56, Thursday morning i headed to 7 Springs for the first day of ski/snowboard season, and a brisk 22ºF that felt like 8ºF with the windchill on the chair lift.

At this point though, I dodnt really care how cold it is. I just want to ski! So Saturday I’m heading back up for my 2nd day, and the Rome Premature Jibulation. Depending on the weather, I may even bring out the cameras and take some time away from my riding, to watch some buddies throw down.

If you cant tell that im Excited, here is some more proof. WINTER IS HERE! YAY!

I then made my parents a pheasant dinner with fresh vegetables, cooked with red wine, carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. I hope they saved some for me to try when I get back up there tomorrow.

Happy Friday! If you are on the East Coast, try and stay warm!

Oh, and as for the Steelers game last night; WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT! Seriously, they couldn’t score a touchdown against the BROWNS, who had won ONE game all SEASON!
