  1. Thanks for publishing this update – please keep it up! My wife and I are visiting family in Michigan and this would have been our first major snow storm as Philipstown residents. Anyone up on East Mountain Road get more than 18 inches? We have been told we have a micro climate up there.

  2. Greetings from Belle River, Ontario. Seems I got out of town just in time. There are only a few inches of snow on the ground here. As I often point out when I make the 11 hour drive back home to Windsor-Essex County and people remark about how far north that must be…. it is actually only about ten miles north of Cold Spring….but some 660 miles due west…just south of Detroit, Michigan. If you doubt me….check your atlas! Stay safe…I hope one of you will ask Jeff to have a bowl of hot soup ready for me at The Foundry on Friday.

  3. It is truly amazing to me how efficient the ‘clean-up’ crews are around this neck of the woods.

    Starting with Roger Chirco who dug us out of our driveway this morning, to the road crews who kept 9D clear, the village crew who cleared every street imaginable in Cold Spring and Habitat Revival who swept away the snow from my store front.

    Thank you to everyone.

  4. Yes – I am impressed with how quickly and efficiently the streets were plowed and sidewalks shoveled…and with no salt – do my eyes deceive me?
