the Weather report

we got our winter. Snow is minimal but cold in spades. And down to single digits on the thermometer.

thus we hunker down during the hunker down time. freeze your face off winter is here

what does Lee Valley have for us - ice cleats and snow shoes. The ice cleats buckle over shoes or boots. The snow shoes are stubbies for tourist type snow walking. I haven't used either very much. Or not at all. Dad bought the snow shoes - he did things like that.

no wonder I'm like that, too - just ask M

the sun is big and the sky powder blue, there is wind moving the low branches
