Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It ... Sand?

Tis the season to take pictures for our Christmas and holiday cards. But what do you do if there is no snow? If you are Korali and Tobias, you get creative ...

 

With the forecast nothing but sun for the rest of the week, and the deadline creeping up for creating a holiday card, Korali and Tobias took their sled Tuesday afternoon, and headed for the beach, at the Surf Club in Madison.

In the absence of snow, they opted for sand.

Good thinking too, because snow is not in the forecast for the next few days. In fact, the forecast as of Tuesday afternoon was sunny and relatively warm for the rest of the week, until this weekend, when we might get some snow. Here are the details as of Tuesday afternoon. For the latest forecast, check with the National Weather Service website.

The plan to let dogs off leash needs clarification. The park and the town are in the planning phasesRead More of a fenced off leach area that was designed by landscape architecture students from UCONN. This is part of the overall plan for the the park. The area slated for use is north of the Bauer Farmhouse on the other side of Copse road. It is in the wooded area on the other side of the brook abutting the cliffs. I agree dogs should be allowed off leash, however some dog owners are not in full control of their dogs, so the fenced off leash area is a good alternative for the safety and enjoyment of all.

I think a fenced in area is the way to go. Not everyone has control over their dogs. I often walkRead More there with my dog and little kids and my kids have been knocked down and even nipped at by excited dogs whose owners have no control. We go to the dog park in Clinton all the time and the dogs have a great time and it's great for young dogs who aren't 100% trained yet.

Leslie, please note these are not rules being introduced. Madison's leash laws are years old, theRead More new request is to allow dogs off leash in specific areas. To the best of my knowledge dog owners allowing dogs to run free are violating current law. Driving down Copse rd often, i have seem dogs run into the road. I think the responsible thing is to fence in a large portion of the property to allow dogs to be free of leashes, run freely, get great exercise, and frolic with dogs owned by similarly minded and responsible owners who accept the potential risk of an occasional bite or two. I have lived in Madison for 20 years and we have always had a leash law...
