Well after all my complaining about the cold, it seems like someone finally listened and we’re now enjoying a nice mild spell. All the snow has pretty much melted in the last two days.
Last Saturday Jeannie I went on a day trip skiing without the kids, up to the Berkshires. And we just barely beat the weather. When we woke up at the break of day it was 12 degrees out, and by the time we made it to the mountain it was 28 or so. Just perfect. Conditions were good and our energy level was high, and we both had a fantastic day skiing. All that Nordic Track has really been paying off. By early afternoon the temperature had crept above freezing, as evidenced by the snow sticking to our skis and melting on the ride up the lift. Still it made it pleasant to be out, so we kept on going, and by the time were ready to go home they had turned on the lights for night skiing. When we got into the car the thermometer said 44 degrees.
