That's the top of the mountain.  Down here in Pinkham Notch it's a balmy -6 
degrees F, and the winds aren't gusting much over 25 mph, so it's not so bad. 
 

Phew.... Practically Balmy, short sleeve weather...

But you bundle up, and it's manageable.  And the sky is brilliant blue and 
the 
snow crunches underfoot so wonderfully.  And hot cocoa and fires crackling in 
the wood stove and saunas are rendered even more magnificent, so I can't wait 
to get home to all that tonight.

Life is good.

Ahh.... The other morning was so wonderful.... 18 degrees... I wore my shorts 
with a
Pullover fleece jacket & went out into the world (in my car.. With the seat 
heater on, 
and the regular heat blasting... With a cup of hot coffee!). Then went for a 
walk that afternoon wearing the same. 40 degrees, windy & COLD.... I've become 
such a wuss
since my hike ended... In Maine it was in the 30's and we started out in T 
shirts...
Oh well.... I just turned 48.... Maybe I need Geritol... ;-)
