Robin flew at me from the usual nesting spot under the deck on Monday.
Yeah all the critters are coming out this week. Just when I got home, I saw my dog attack a skunk which obviously sprayed The dog. My dog broke the skunk's neck but did not kill it so I had to finish the damn thing off with a 22. My dog was a complete mess of mud and skunk spray, and so is my yard.  The snowpack is deteriorating quickly.  If things just stayed cold, I wouldn't have had to deal with this disaster.
my brother's dog got hit by a porcupine the other night. dang ol critters

I was told that to get porcupine quills out you cut the quill in half.  That lets the air out so you can pull out the quill easily.

When we were younger I wanted to try this out on my brother.  My mother wouldn't hear of it.

I'm digging it.

Does anyone know what exactly is going on now? It's 69 degrees in the shade in the northern Catskills right now. There's talk of thunder showers tomorrow. WTF?
I'll take boilerplate ice over wet snow any day

I gave the dog a bath with vinegar and vanilla, and it seemed to work pretty well. Still there is an underlying odor in her fur. The skunk itself is in the woods for the coyotes to snack on tonight.

That stinks. I'll be curious as to how you rid rover of his smell. Good luck.
I heard that hydrogen peroxide and baking soda is the formula for de-skunking a dog. Never had to do it as the wife hates dogs so we have been cat people.

They might pick up a lot of rain ahead of the cold front...BTV has flood warnings up for excessive snow melt and possible ice jams...Doesn't sound like fun...

 system moves out to fast for Stowe and Jay to have a nice upslope event

I'm going MTB if my back feels ok

Very sad that Jason didn't use his go-to word "blowtorch" to describe the weather over the past week.

Yeah, I left around 5:15 and it was 32 degrees and fat flakes were falling at the Lodge:



It might actually be pretty good tomorrow!

It's snowing at my house and up until about an hour ago we were getting thunder and lightning with the snow.

A bunch of mountains have been announcing they are going to fire up the snowguns at the end of the week. Looks like they only have a small 2-3 day window.
