Default Winter blues. Might as well start on the annual.

We went to Stanley to start picking away at the annual and ran into this. I got stuck trying to get in the road and ended up hiking in. Another snow storm is forecast for mid week. By the looks of things we won't be flying from here any time soon. Kinda envy you folks down south.

I feel for you, Paul. We're not getting the snow that you are but rather are being subjected to lots of consecutive days of temps not rising above -15C. In fact, the only time it warms up is when it snows some more! LoL

Looks like you need to hook up with Patrick Gilligan of COPA fame to get a set of skis for your -8!

Wow, those are some winter blues. At least I was able to chip the ice out from under '84L this morning and go.

And I was just complaining that it will be 80 degrees today, and I will have to turn on the shop AC to keep comfortable. Oh well, beats shoveling snow I guess
