My sentiments exactly. I used to snowmobile in forty-below weather. Back
in my CAP cadet days, we had an overnight bivouac where it got to 18 below.

Folks around Seattle ain't used to it, though....

True, but are YOU used to it now??

Well, if'n I ain't, I SURE ain't gonna admit it here... :-)

Actually, was back in ND about two months ago. Got down to 8 degrees or
so. Definitely brisk, but certainly standable. Didn't feel much like
going flying, though.

Buried in my old stuff is some pictures I took, back when flying in the
winter in North Dakota. What's amazing about it is not only the
snow-covered ground, but that the horizon is a *hard* line. No haze.
