1st Snow in Old Greenwich at Binney Park.
This sudden breeze was brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...look at the ripples down there on the water. Earlier I was driving with my assistant near Pizza Post when a strongly rotating miniature tornado about 5 feet in diameter violently pushed our car around. You know the bumper cars at Playland?...it was like getting hit by multiple bumper cars but more gently or smoothly.
The Stone Hut on an Island in Binney Park. It has a fireplace.
Binney Park
A woman jogging in Binney Park. The book, Running was written by the late Jim Fixx a former Greenwich Resident. An image of his legs was the powerful image on the cover. His book made Jogging very popular in the mid 70's and the trend is ongoing.
My assistant notice 4 Robins in Binney Park (2 at the bottom of this image), something not typical for this time of year, this is her photo. These photos were taken two days ago, today the snow is gone. I wonder if the Robin's flew in on a warm front. Do they follow warm fronts? There is a myth that a large Hawk named the Thunderbird flies at the front edge of Thunderstorms. The mythological bird of prey watches from above at small animals flee in fear and become easy targets.
While driving to my parents something hit the side of my car. I got out of the car to see if I got tagged by a snowball. Nothing there. So for dramatical purposes I made a snowball, froze my hands, and threw it at my own car for this photo. Now you know what it looks like when your car is pummeled by a snowball.
The first tee at Innis Arden Golf Club. Someone did 10 runs on the very thin steep snowy hill. This is the location that I have tested my invention, shoes that use Bamboo leaves to amazingly grip to snow and ice.

Thanks for the memories…
Do they still enclose the Stone Hut at Binney Park during ice skating times? I recall that was the only place to seek some warmth while ice skating for hours on the ice. The roaring fire in the fireplace was always a welcomed relief from the cold.
