Beating the Wind

Local meteorologists have given us a "First Alert" about the Arctic Blast that will be descending upon us tonight, warning that high winds would push through in advance of the front.  Well the winds are here already in the early afternoon, but fortunately Becca and I were able to get in a decently-long hike before the blustery conditions started.  Temperatures are supposed to plummet tonight, and we have rain/snow in the forecast for Thursday and Friday.
