Love, like a stone, that struck and hurt... Dylan Thomas
Morning y'all,

It's another beautiful morning up top. The high yesterday reached 30 degrees. The overnight low was 24 degrees. It was 25 degrees and clear at 7am observation. The mountain received no new precipitation and there is still patchy snow remaining up top. I came up Alum yesterday evening and there is snow and ice past the double stair, but conditions are not too tricky. Enjoy the day! Oh, and HAPPY WINTER!!! It is time to begin.

Celery, romaine lettuce, carrots good for you? What kind of dressing do you like?
Craisions are a definite.
Libations?
