In the city, it's all about location. Here in the mountains, it's all about elevation.
This morning, Watershed Post publisher Julia Reischel snapped this photo of snow clinging to every branch of every tree atop New Kingston Mountain Road, between New Kingston and Roxbury.
On a day like today, with a thaw underway and the ground mostly bare in the valley below, venturing above the snow line is like entering another world: sparkling, wintry and remote.
Update: Julia Reischel here, chiming in to answer a question posted to us by a reader on Facebook: What was the elevation? I just looked at a topographical map, and the snow started at almost exactly 2,000 feet on New Kingston Mountain this morning. Ditto for other mountains I drove by all around the Margaretville-Roxbury area.
