A cool day altogether-
Got up- good sleeping weather. Had turned off gas heater and
was mid 60s in the house when rising. Fed old Ellie- Mae and then bundled up
enough for a RT walk with her to post office— maybe 2 miles or so on the surface
streets and lots. Quiet out there… the way we love it when a weather event like
this one sets upon us!
Was 8 degrees and broke a sweat so had to unpeel so to speak
and then continued on a bit slower so as to not soak up inside the layers. Was
actually quite comfortable. Now temperature rose a degree or so is holding steady @ 10° F.
Interesting note here is that with proper gear low temperatures
are ok and not a hassle.
It snowed some— you know the dry sand snow particles. Was champagne
powder last night at the outset. Maybe less that four inches-- and-- Ice- fog!
A little much for the “three season” tent but w/ the right winter tent I think the next few days would be a welcomed respite from the omnipresence and ubiquity of the American subdivision cultura. The culture— is everywhere; and few and far between are the ONES that know. —about the solitude afforded those on the winter schedule outside.

The first arctic weather front is upon us and without a
decent soaking for the trees —a second year in a row. Last year the ground did
not freeze either and the trees are stressed by the drought conditions. They
are more prone –again- to infestations.
