I may live in the “North Country” but that doesn’t always mean snow. We have had little to no snow this winter and the temperatures have been mild. We are now in for a change! The weather forecast is for SNOW…FINALLY, a foot or more of the beautiful, fluffy, winter white will be falling outside our door this weekend. Grab your skis, snowshoes, skates or whatever you favorite winter gear is and head on up.
