This is amazing weather!
I know the wind has a painful bite, but weather extremes are noteworthy. This is great weather for those of us who like extremes!
The cold and the wind is what we all are aware of. However, the most interesting measure of this air mass to me is the very low, and lowering, dew point. From what I have seen, we are at -24 degrees F and still going down. Very dry for this time of the year. For those photographers out there, this is the time for those very long, crystal clear telephoto shots.
Things look to warm up nicely on Frday and the warmer weather looks to hold for a while. Still not sure if this is winter's last gasp. There might be another dip in tempature starting the 16th or so, but this is not something that is definate.
I need to inform the marina as to when to get the bottom of the boat wet this spring. I usually like to get in early and try to catch salmon, but it looks more and more like a late ice out. Although I like winter, I do not see this as good news.
Stay warm!
