[at-l] A cold day in Lake Wobegon

[Art Cloutman]

Oh my goodness!  30 degrees!!   Well, on Wednesday it reached a high 
of 17 degrees then it started to get cold.  I was working at Gunstock 
Ski Area teaching people how to make great turns on skis.  I worked 
there until 6:45 PM when the temperature had fallen to 2 degrees. 
This morning it reads negative 5 degrees Fahrenheit but it is 
expected to get up to 12 degrees by mid day.  Waitsfield, HN reported 
a temperature of negative 24 degrees.  I don't know what it is on top 
of Mt Washington but it is most likely below -24 F.     I am bundling 
up to go back to Gunstock for another great day of skiing on squeaky 
white stuff.  The skiing is incredible with another 10 inches of snow 
falling on New Years Day.  The only problem is it is getting harder 
to find places to pile the snow when I shovel my walkway and 
driveway.  And my arms are getting tired.

>I just went out for a little walk, with down jacket, insulated

>My eyes were watering and I was afraid I'd get icicles on my

>So I came back after 20 minutes.  So much for that.
>Next thing you know we'll have snow.
