Happy Thanksgiving from snowy Lake Placid!

Everyone is feeling pretty grateful these days here at Adirondack Lifestyle. In addition to the enormously long list of things for which I am grateful, I am thankful for the fresh snow.

I’ve surprised no one.

The big Thanksgiving blizzard of 2013 did not dump twelve inches of snow in the Adirondacks, but we did get snow, rain, ice, sleet, a blast of cold air, and then six inches of nice fresh powder. A crusty base with six inches of fresh powder snow on top is a great way to start the Nordic ski season.

I like to think of Thanksgiving as a verb. This works particularly well with fresh snow on the ground in Lake Placid. I also abide the saying ‘count your blessings,’ and I make my blessings count. This is all to say I will honor the fresh snow and show my gratitude by going for a ski.

Thank you to all my readers for your interest in the Adirondack Lifestyle, and to all my clients, past, present, and future: I hope you are having as much fun as I am.

Make your blessings count!
