Looking Backward Down 5 Fwy
(all the tracks are from the wildlife)
I'm pretty sure winter is here. If the cold temperatures and snow weren't enough the large number of geese flying south this week confirmed it. I tried to record the flocks and all the honking but none of the videos or stills were able to satisfactorily convey the event. All you heard in the video was my clothes rubbing together and the geese are all but specks in the still photos.
Keep snowing. Right now 9" (23cm) on the ground and flurries in the forecast. Up to this point, all things considered, barring the unforeseen, and God willing and the creek don't rise, etc., etc. (you can probably sense my restrained approach) the winter has set up to be far better than last year. A quick course check has revealed unfrozen surfaces on the sunny greens and some slight slush in low area on certain fairways which probably doesn't mean a whole lot this early in the season. At the very least we have some insulation against any cold snaps that come our way. At the very, worst conditions for disease (very near zero and some surface moisture) are present.
