Today at 6:30am, my boss called me and said that today's festivities had been cancelled due to the 8-10 inches of snow, low twenties temperatures, and sustained winds in the 25-30 mph range. That puts the wind chill into the single digits where frostbite can potentially set in within 30 minutes. Since it's going to continue snowing and being windy and blustery all day, it's a no-brainer. This is the first snow day I've had in over fifteen years.
Here's a few pictures from Forward Operating Base Montgomery, also known as our house. I took them from safely inside, mind you, though I did step outside for 30 minutes or so to scrape our driveway clean. Our neighbor with the industrial strength snow-blower cleaned the majority of the snow off of the driveways of all five houses in the cul-de-sac, including that of Mr. Harold, the gentleman in his early hundreds who lives two houses down.
I'm fairly certain that Mr. Harold was part of
Nicolas Perrot's expedition team, but I haven't been able to confirm that.
Anyway, here's the pictures:
This is our back porch:
This is essentially the same view as in the post below:
And this what it looks like without snow (Note the treeline for reference):
And that's life, From My Position.
