Old Man Winter has officially made his appearance. Had some snow squalls yesterday with near white out conditions. When I left for work this morning it was a scorching 4.5 degrees.

lumberzac, it was about the same here in NH this morning. Maybe the snow we got yesterday will stick around for awhile.

I'm hoping for more snow. The squalls we got yesterday didn't last very long so we only got a dusting to an inch. Hopefully the Adirondacks got a little more than that. I'm itching to use my snowshoes.

Snowshoes, cross country skis, alpine skis....we need about another foot of snow!

Plumes
It was 70°F. here two hours ago. Going to 75.

For Minnesota I thought the weather forecast said Plumes!" I was scared. But upon closer inspection, it just said "Fluries." Phew!

Bug net?
Why would I want to do that? I can hike faster than black flies, deer flies on the other hand I guess we know that answer.

BTW - it has warmed up to 17
