After snowfall, wildlife is often seen moving quietly along the ridge. Fresh tracks, soft light, and brief pauses like this are part of everyday winter life here.

Each winter, the town gathers quietly around small traditions. The Christmas tree in the park has always been one of them. Lit against fresh snow and cold night air, it’s a simple marker of the season. Nothing more than a reminder that winter here is meant to be shared.

Today marks a day of remembrance for the winter storm of 1982, which significantly affected travel and visibility across Hollenwil Ridge.
Residents may recall extended closures along several access roads as conditions deteriorated rapidly throughout the morning.
The town recognizes this date as part of its recorded history.
