Weather Woes

This morning I had the unpleasant task of canceling our
annual Trapp lodge vacation --- their trails are closed
again.

This was the last time the whole family was going to go,
as our eldest kid will be in college next year.

This is the first time in 15 years weather canceled this
vacation. (Once we left after 6 days because the 2' base
had melted...)

Woe is me...

At least the Weston loop survived, insulated as it was
by the big snow just 5 days ago.

Such a bummer. I'm sorry. Our winter in southeast Michigan has been
pretty grim for cross-country as well. I hate this. WInter is supposed
to be white and cold.

Hi Lew,
I am deeply saddened that you once again bring the God of the Old
Testament into a conversation about weather and the actions of humans.
How is it that you are qualified to know the actions and motivations of
God? You should tread lightly on the off chance that God does exist and
turns his wrath on you.
When I was at Trapps last week-end I made inquiries about the Mansfield
/ Trapps connector trail. What I heard from more than one person is;
things are not so simple. Mr. Trapp did not just wake up one day decide
to anger the population. And that when all is said and done, Mansfield
/ Trapps may end up stronger and better.
One thing is for certain, there was no mention of God, retribution or
pettiness.
Lew, sorry for going on a tear you are usually so positive and
generous. Can we just leave God to the Oval Office?

In the mean time, I'll pray for snow.

Don't know if this helps, but overall, it might be looking up finally?

You are taking my words too literally. You can think of it as karma, or
just poetic justice. More simply, Johannes von Trapp is getting what he
deserves.

Hi Lew,
I apoligize for being thin skinned.
I guess I'm not ready to pass judgement on JvT.

Meanwhile, Trapps reopened today. So it's still winter in Stowe,
Craftsbury, Hazen's Notch ...

Too late for the full family vacation, but I might get up there with my
son in 10 days --- he has a long weekend.
