Sabado

Let's do this thing
The weather is supposed to change by tomorrow; rain is expected.  But today was wonderful on the mountain.  I started out with a light PolarPlus vest under my anorak, but I soon had to shed that.  After one-fourth of the hike, I had no need for the gloves I was wearing.  By the time we were finishing up we were encountering joggers in tee shirts and shorts.  As I write this it's 64 F outside.  Last February around this time we had a brutal freeze.

I like this winter a lot better than last winter.

A very hard freeze this morning here in the Mid-Atlantic Piedmont, with temperatures predicted to stay below freezing all day. One of our coldest days yet this winter. But, hey, it's mostly sunny!

Just below freezing with sun I can take, Scott, but when it's cloudy and windy those below-freezing temps are a bear.
