We’re not in Mexico anymore. 🥶
Now roaming around the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia! 🇺🇸
We arrived here to the after effects of a crazy ice storm! Locals here are telling us it’s been one of the harshest ice storms on memory. We believe it, as we arrived to a winter wonderland and thousands of snapped trees. We’ve had to clear many of them from the treacherous roads just to get to the cabin we're bunking up at.
It should all prove for some interesting hiking conditions, which is a big reason for venturing out this way. As we began this year getting caught in an ice storm while hiking in China, this now provides a poetic bookend to the year and we again look forward to more winter trekking!
Time to bundle up! ❄️ Anyone else get hit with winter weather already this year?
Beautiful. Stay warm
The same ice storm barreled through here on Thursday and gave me an unexpected snow day. No loss of power, just some much needed downtime. It was lovely!
You guys are intrepid travelers. What a contrast from Mexico. If you plan to drive up to N Va it would be great if you had a travellers meet up over coffee as suggested above. Enjoy your stay and be safe. It’s turning chilly again next week
certainly had very very early large snowfall here in Southern Ontario
I’ve just pulled the curtain here in Queesntown... and it’s snowing - middle of summer!
Las Vegas may get a snow flurry on Thanksgiving day!!
I'm right around the corner near Dulles Airport. Lemme know if you'd be interested in a traveler meetup over a coffee! Safe travels and enjoy VA!
Stay warm! Such a contrast to Mexico 😎
Hope you have snow tires and chains...slip sliding away. 🎶
Gosh you will be feeling cold...I know where I’d rather be 🇲🇽
I'm in No Va and we got a few inches of snow and ice from the same storm. Beautiful though. What city are you near?
Do you think a horse could survive for long if chained to a tree?
