Are you looking for bald eagles?
my wife and I kayak/paddle board on the croton river and this past summer there were some flying around there. To my untrained eye, there was an adult and two young ones which appeared to mature as the summer progressed.
Same is true up north in vt. Southern areas do better on the big synoptic coastal storms, but the northern areas get to 250-350” average from the small frequent snowfalls.
Also, having the right gear. I donned the flannel lined pants, flannel shirt and vest today. No problems. I’ve probably skied 5 days this season where the wind chills were colder than today so mentally it’s no big thing.
check the zipper on your trousers! I kid, I skied a run yesterday after taking a tinkle in the woods and neglected to zip up my ski pants. it was quite chilly.
