[Gordo]

It was a bit cold and wet on the River this weekend:

   Crews varied in how confident they were that their exertions would keep them warm; some were sure:

   Others less so:

Al - those photos make me start shivering thinking about hypothermia!

We had about 3" of gentle snow overnight and I went over to Mt. Garfield as the skies were clearing for these two snaps. We hiked to the top last Spring, but it wouldn't have been a good idea to do so today!

Nice snow coating, looks like a fun hike in better weather.

Still waiting for the long-promised cold and snow So, here's a rather mundane set of snaps:

1. Kindling waiting to be sacrificed.

2. "The jackets are hung in the mudroom with care, in hopes that the cold weather soon will be here!"

3. Always a welcome accessory! (Bonus points for a correct guess of Make and model)

Nice set - heated seats are something I chuckled at until I got a bit older and wiser.

Two from the garden, early this (frosty) morning:

Liquid heat. Enjoy!

Our trusty weather station tells me that it's cold in Idaho..... I'm sure it will stay that way for weeks. Can't say I am thrilled about it. But, it is what it is.... View attachment 1627813

Nicely done!

Nice shot - the advanced features of the weather station are clearly working well

Great theme idea on the kindling, Nick!

My mom has been frantically working on a small (and warm) afghan as a XMAS present...

for an (expected) April baby gift for my daughter...

I'm always amazed by people who can knit or crochet, Paul. Chemistry is a piece of cake comparatively.

That'll light a fire, no doubt!

As I mentioned to Paul: that is an impressive skill!

Spot on for the theme, Ron, and nicely photographed!

Terri, you have way more white stuff than we do up north.

We might have two inches...not much. But it is so cold here today. It's 10 degrees F here at noon!! Yikes!!

After a few teaser days with the temps in the 40s-50s, it has returned back to colder temps:

It was 16℉ at 7:30 this morning, so instead of heading out for the long wait the get my winter tires put on, I stayed home with a hot cup of coffee. Maybe tomorrow . . .

I only had to drive about 90 minutes to get a reminder from Mt Rainier that Christmas was coming ...

Yeah... I really don't miss the cold anymore. Paul - how do you like the Nest?

Nice set, love the ornament in the snow.

It is fabulous! It learns and can be programmed for each day, shows the temps and forecast, and has a home/away setting, so you can set it to away, go somewhere for an all day trip for example, and before leaving for home, set it back to home and it will ramp the temp back up. It is on the wi-fi network and can be controlled remotely via an app on your phone. Very cool device.
