Mother Weather

Thursday night another storm rolled in. Snow and winds averaging 35mph with gusts near 50mph. We lost power twice.

What to do on a night like that?

Go XC skiing of course.

From the parking lot the wind howling through the trees sounded like a war.

As scary as it sounded, the woods was our destination and haven.

Exposed in the open, the blowing snow soaked and stung you quickly. The trees offered protection.

Though the conditions for skiing weren't so great (unless you were last in our group of seven), the night was beautiful and well worth the adventure.
