-15 when i got in my truck today. Huge bright sun. It easy to understand how whiteface gots it name when you look at it on a day like today.

The guns have to be roaring. Not much wind. It is EPIC snowmaking weather. :-D

To cold?

seriously.

be glad your not a farmer then, or a railway worker

you ski, you make the choice to go out, grow some balls, stop crying -

and remeber - the valentine's blizzard fell at -8F, never got above 5 that day

it warmed up last night - woke up to -10 and a gentle NW breeze, currently a balmy 3 out, the hills are white and the sunrise was gorgeous


we still have contests on drinking nights when its -30 or better to see who can stand outside without a coat for the longest - I would highly recommend a good functioning wood stove for that game though - it is always eerie calm on the coldest nights - they are beautiful like good summer nights and appreciated in our home
