This year’s Thanksgiving Day snow was definitely noteworthy.
There was a power outage for some of our Midtown residents, which thankfully didn’t impact the entire community – no doubt thanks to our recent infrastructure upgrades. NYSEG was observed on the RRVA grounds restoring power.
We also extend a heartfelt thank you to Anthony, our maintenance manager, for clearing the snow and keeping our roads and parking lots accessible.
Indeed, we have much to be thankful for over this holiday.
Dear RRVA residents,
The weather forecast is projecting a break in the months long drought in the Northeast. The forecast even includes snow at elevation in the Catskills, including Deleware and Ulster counties! Rain should arrive Wednesday night into Thursday (November 21) and turn to snow Friday (Nov 22) through Sunday (Nov 24).
Please take a moment to prepare for the inclement weather by stocking up a few days of provisions, by making sure your car is winterized, and that you have provisions for handling the weather: ice scraper, snow brush, shovel, snow melt, even blankets and provisions for the car.
Here is a link to the forecast on weather.com.
Sincerely,
RRVA Board

As the colors of autumn have lit up the Catskills, we have formally bid farewell to the summer of 2024. For RRVA that means some unseen albeit intense maintenance tasks. This post is intended to provide some insight as to the work being done.
While our pool formally closed shortly after Labor Day, the maintenance crew has been working to prepare it for the winter, and ensure that it will be in working order for us come the summer of 2025. From the machine room and solar heaters, to the pool itself, the task is complex! One noteworthy item for this year was the replacement of the pool cover. Our previous pool cover lasted over 10 years, and fell apart during its removal this past Spring. Maria, our Office Manager took advantage of the summer months to shop around and source a replacement pool cover, which arrived on time and in time for the fall. This bespoke pool cover is a requirement for both the safety and the protection of the pool. Weighing in at approximately 5,000 pounds, our maintenance crew transported and installed this massive cover as they finalized the pool’s seasonal shut-down. This new cover’s substantial price tag was an unexpected expense that our Treasurer and Board President worked hard to fit into our budget.
You may have noticed a backhoe moving around the grounds, moving earth along the sides of our roads. This is critical to ensure proper drainage: water must flow off the roads and into the ditches along the sides of all roads. Over time, the shape of the land will change. Torrential rain like we had back in August can accelerate the way Mother Nature reshapes the land. Therefore, this sort of work must be done to ensure the safety of our roads: as Winter approaches, it is essential that water drains off of the roads. If water is allowed to pool and freeze, our roads will become unusable.
The fence and gate of the dog run require repair, including reinstalling posts and replacing the latch on the gate. Management has chosen to properly repair the fencing rather than a quick fix, and the RRVA Maintenance Crew will tackle this task as soon as the road maintenance is complete.
