The eve of the new year arrived with a new layer of fresh snow. The fog and overcast that accompanied our gift from the massive West Coast storm departed as celebrations began, leaving us with a morning low temperature of -18. Sunday morning's low was also -18. To know cold, one must experience it. Go outside in any temperature below 0 degrees Fahrenheit and the hairs in the human nose begin to freeze within the first minute of exposure. Men start growing icicles on facial hair.
Buildings tend to gather ice as well. Frost patterns show up on windows and icicles hang from eves.
There is no more important time for "dressing for success" than winter in the high country. Now this is what I'm talking about!
may 2011 be a year of creativity and sanity
until next Monday,
