I’ve been waiting to record winter ambiences in the New York area all season, but winter never really showed up this year. In response, I set out on a six hour drive to Vermont this February searching for some semblance of winter. Fortunately, Mother Nature cooperated, and graced me with 2 days of winter to record ambiences, as well as some other unexpected treasures.

Recording Geek Note: Both Recordings were ORTF stereo recordings with Schoeps CMC 5 bodies and MK4 capsules. It was tracked with a Cooper CS 104 feeding a Sound Devices 744T.
