We here at the Source like to think of ourselves as optimists.

While our hearts are certainly with the victims of the Frankenstorm, which is battering the east coast and has already claimed at least 38 lives across eight states, flooded countless homes and business and left millions without power, we've been desperately searching for a bright spot in all this dark news.

I think we found it.

Snow in the mountains! Hopefully the early snow storm translates to a healthy ski season for the numerous Appalachian ski resorts throughout the Northeast. Many of them have already received two to three feet of snow, with more on the way, according to forecasters.
