News & Opinion About Huletts Landing, N.Y.
This photo looking out over the ninth green of the Huletts golf course, taken on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, shows no snow left on the ground. Spring has officially arrived. However, there is still ice on the lake. Hopefully, only better weather is ahead.
I imagine that most of us are extremely happy to see the arrival of the month of March. Most of the winter in Huletts was truly brutal. The temperatures are still very low and the lake is frozen but thank God that the bitter cold and snow are no match for mother nature determined to burst into spring.
March is usually a month when people start to return to Huletts and begin to finalize their plans for the upcoming summer. I’ve heard from people all over the country who all are looking forward to returning for another year. The one thing that people bring up again and again, is that Huletts is a refuge from all the craziness that is going on in the world. It has a timeless quality about it that even when things change, it stays relatively the same.
I am reminded that it was in in 1976, fifty years ago, that the United States celebrated our 200th anniversary as a nation. Now in 2026, we will celebrate our 250th anniversary, reestablishing what the fight for liberty and freedom is all about.
Spring will arrive soon and the buds will begin to blossom. The cold air will lessen, warmth will return, and the ice on the lake will melt. We have a few more weeks until the official start of spring, but it’s getting close. My mantra the next few weeks is going to be; “we will make it.” As Dolly Parton once said; “the way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” Only a few more weeks of cold, and spring will be here. I hope everyone has a great month and that before we know it, it is nice and warm.
