Newspapers wrote about a 'rare October snowstorm', even a 'deadly snowstorm' that 'slammed' the US northeast. People died due to traffic accidents and fallen trees, hundreds of traffic accidents happened and 2.5 millions were without electricity. In some parts of the east, about 30 centimeters of snow fell from the unusual sky. But everything has two sides, and I guess that's just nature. Despite the tragedies that happened on this weekend, we were again lucky and enjoyed the unusual weather.
We worked the Saturday night and didn't see a lot of the weather outside, and on Sunday we first had to remove ice from the front screen of our car and then headed down to West Virginia, to George Washington National Forest in the near of the small campground at Hawk. Don't ask how to get there, I only remember narrow dirt roads and quite a lot of snow. Every now and then we passed massive fallen and cracked trees and I even had to remove one of them to let Bernhard pass with the car. Boy, the tree was heavy!
But the weather on Sunday was awesome, and we took some pictures on our hike (were we unfortunately couldn't find the right trail and after an unexpected climb ended up on a mountain ridge instead of at a river down in the valley... well... we probably should have turned around earlier).
Colorful leaves.
This was the street. Covered by snow and sometimes quite big trees lying on the road as well.
Riders came along.
Color reduction.
Just click on one of the pictures and see the entire gallery on my Page. Enjoy.
