TIRED OF SHOVELING SNOW? MAKE SURE YOU DO IT RIGHT

DO SOME LIGHT EXERCISE TO LIMBER UP.

DRESS PROPERLY-LAYERS ARE BEST. DON’T FORGET HAT, GLOVES AND WARM BOOTS.

USE A GOOD SHOVEL THAT IS COMFORTABLE TO USE.

PUSH SNOW INSTEAD OF LIFTING. WAITING TOO LONG AFTER THE SNOW FALLS WILL HINDER YOUR PROGRESS. NEVER THROW THE SNOW OVER YOUR BACK AS THIS WILL CAUSE UNDO STRAIN. IF YOU CAN’T PUSH THE SNOW AND MUST LIFT USE YOUR LEGS TO ABSORB THE STRESS.

TAKE A BREAK AND DRINK SOME FLUIDS. IF YOU ARE SHORT OF BREATH, HAVE CHEST PAIN STOP IMMEDIATELY.

 MOST IMPORTANT-THINK OF HOW BEAUTIFULLY GREEN THE GRASS WILL BE WHEN SPRING ARRIVES-AND IT WILL!

Snowfall accumulation in!

Front Lawn today - Friday 10-16-09

Pocono Pines -  Well, we were gifted with about 5 inches of snow from Mother Nature yesterday/last night. It didn’t stick to the roads, but it did cover the trees, buildings and forest floor with a cottony thick blanket. The trees do look dangerously close to weighing down the power and phone lines but we seem to have gotten through our first snow just fine.  Now let’s all hope that the next storm coming through tonight and Saturday doesn’t take out the power.

Here is a link to the Pocono Record for more information on yesterday’s storm and the one on the way.

First Fall Snow

Pocono Pines – It’s October 15th 2009 and we have our first Snowfall! This is promised as the begining of a three day reminder, (snow showers on and off at our elevation),  that winter is even closer then we thought. Now, last year we had our first snowfall in late October, the  28th to be exact, and the accumilation was 12 inches in our neck of the woods.

The children are hoping for an early dismisal today or a delay tomorrow morning from school - a taste of winter fun that only kids can truly enjoy – Adults are getting out the snow shovels and making sure they have the plow service set up. All the time reminding themselves that they know better and should have done it before October 1st.

 Though we look forward to winter fun, skiing, ice skating, sledding, snow tubing – we will miss the glorious colors of Fall and the not to distant past  Summer days on the lake, we do take pause to enjoy the first flakes that make everything white and clean and signal that it’s just a few months to Spring – a new beginning.

Editor’s Note: Just got an update – 9 -12 inches expected today/overnight – Will let you know what we get tomorrow! Check Back-
