| Albany had a white Christmas with just a little snow from a couple of weeks before, but just after Christmas we got a pretty heavy snow storm, about 18 inches of light snow with lots of wind. The storm really hit to the south and west with not so much snow to the north and east, but it was really hard to know how much each area got as there was so much drifting. At the end of December, we did a Meetup.com snowshoe hike to Berlin Mountain. I had hiked this trail previously. I used my Droid to record the trip up the mountain and back (above). The ride to the trail head was on Route 2 which was well plowed. However, the trail head parking was a mess. |

| The trail was just gorgeous with the crunching snow and frost on the trees as shown above. If you look closely at the picture on the right you can see the patterns in the frost on the tree limbs. Cool! |

| John and Tracy took these pictures of me and the group. Above is a picture of Jim who is really a large man (not clear in that picture). I heard that the first time Jim climbed Berlin mountain he had a couple of pebbles in his boots (one in each boot) which he left at the top of the mountain. Those were the rocks which we sat on when we stopped to snack at the top and which Tracy used to support her camera (next page) for the group shots below. In the second we were trying for a Captain Morgan pose, but I didn't remember who Captain Morgan was. Doh! |
