During a windy day last fall there was a baby owl on my wife's car, it stayed in the garage for most of the night but was gone in the morning. I wonder if the wind blew it out of its nest or blew the whole nest down.
I didn't get many last year for the first time in a few years, maybe it was the late frost.
They're really good but you can eat only so many off the tree, you have to can most of them and give them away.
Should be fun in Quebec this weekend for the winter carnival, if I ever go I'd like to hit a cold snap like we're going to have. A friend of mine went one year with below zero weather, he said they wore ski pants while outside.
WE went to Stratton on a cold day like that, my friend got a hot chocolate and spilled some on his ski, he bent down to wipe it off and it was already frozen.
I had -20 two nights in a row in my old place, a good rad spot. Experienced -35 at the Mt Washington Hotel one valentine's day weekend. That cold hurt and did funny things with the coat I was wearing.
I remember some good times in the 80's at the Beast, they did get some good storms and I remember skiing with a cast on my left hand when it was single digits. As bad as the 80's were there were some decent periods.
