Winter on the Amherst Town Common Holiday Card

Excited to announce I will be adding an assortment of greeting cards to the CloudsAmherst EtsyShop over the next few months, starting with this one!

Winter on the Amherst Town Common Holiday Card
Photographer: Joshua Wolfsun

Come experience a snowy December morning on the Amherst Town Common. Daylight has only just broken through the clouds, and the street lamps and holiday lights are casting a golden reflection across the ice. Later in the day, this scene will be filled with people out shopping and dining, but for now, all is quiet. Photographed by Joshua Wolfsun, this image has a dreamy quality, reminiscent of a painting. Folded, the card is 4.6" x 7.2," printed on premium, heavy-weight matte paper. Inside message: May all the seasons of your life be filled with peace and happiness. Shop here: https://etsy.me/48VWjTy

On Puffer's Pond

Saturday, February 4, 2023, 3:35 pm: The past two days have seen record-breaking cold in the area, with the temperature dipping to -14F overnight, Friday into Saturday. To make matters worse, the wind was unyielding, whipping through the trees and driving wind chill readings down to -40F. In a season that had been unusually mild up until that point, it was something of a shock. Local residents were suddenly forced to think about warming up their cars, preventing pipes from freezing, and dressing in multiple layers to walk their dogs. By Saturday, while many were happy to hunker down and wait for temperatures to stop breaking low records, this was the moment that ice fishers and skaters had been waiting for all winter. With temps hovering around 12F (albeit above zero) by Saturday afternoon, Puffer's Pond was the place to be for about 30 people, many of whom were spread out over the ice, either ice fishing or playing hockey. While this is a fairly typical sight at Puffer's in the coldest winter months, our current lack of snow made it unique. No one had to contend with snowpack - the skaters didn't even have to clear a "field" for their game. And with all the hiking paths snow and ice-free, photographers had no trouble capturing water flowing through, under, and around layers of ice on the water. And, still, at 12F, without hand and foot warmers, I did not linger long. The temps will be rising quickly in the coming week, climbing well above freezing, even to 50F in the days to come. So, I'm guessing the skaters and ice fishers also won't be here much longer.
