Fellow Homeowners,

The “El Niño” weather pattern this year has made the Catskills warmer and wetter than usual, which has not been good news for those of us who enjoy winter sports. 

However, the weather will be changing drastically this weekend, and we are anticipating our first real winter storm.

While it is difficult to forecast the weather several days out, we are expecting temperatures this weekend to remain below freezing, with snow showers starting Saturday evening, and continuing throughout the entire day Sunday.  Accumulations could range from a few inches to well over a foot.

Here is a link to real-time weather on the RRVA web site.

As Chris Cook has reminded us in the past, we each have a personal responsibility to be prepared for winter in the Catskill mountains.  In anticipation of this weekend’s weather, please make sure you have enough provisions so that you won’t have to venture out driving during the snowfall.  And if you are looking forward to the best snow sports so far this season, please make sure your vehicle is prepared with proper tires, and that you have emergency provisions on hand, including a blanket, salt / sand and the ability to get yourself “unstuck”, or the ability to hike through the weather in search of help.

Most importantly, the RRVA staff will be clearing roads and walkways as weather permits; clearing snow takes time and requires multiple passes.  Therefore, please anticipate slippery roads and walkways all day Sunday and into Monday.

We wish you a happy and safe winter season.

Sincerely,
RRVA Board Of Directors

As mentioned in the current President’s Letter, you may request a handrail by completing the “Handrail Request Form”, located with all forms on the Roxbury Run Village web site.

Handrail installation will be in the order of requests received, and weather permitting.

• Tony Miraglio

Let’s take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate their hard work and commitment.

Warm Regards,
The Roxbury Run Village Board

In preparation for the winter snow and ice, the maintenance crew has been inspecting trees all around RRVA. In particular, one tree next to the Jodi Macklin playground had conspicuously few leaves this summer. And recently, wildlife pried open the trunk. Upon inspection, this tree and others next to were found to be in very poor health, and were cut down. This will obviously change the appearance of a high-visibility area at RRVA, and will be addressed.

According to the arborist on our crew, the center portion was as soft as butter, and the with the right wind, the tree would have collapsed. While we are saddened to lose these Billberey trees to old age, we are relieved they were taken down safely.
