This winter has been pretty brutal in the Hudson Valley. From fairly consistent snow to the frigid temperatures we've seen, it's been a bit of a struggle to find the motivation to leave the house!

Staying cozied up inside sounds pretty great. But it can get a little isolating and depressing. While the Spring isn't all too far away, there are still some cold temperatures coming our way. So, take this as a little push to leave the house and have fun without completely freezing!
