Buenos dias esquiadores y snowboarders,
In honor of several guests from Spain today, I greet you in Spanish.
Hoo-eee, cold one last night! Down to -19 C. For Furano-ites, -20 C is the cutoff between COLD and cold. Down to -20 C is "pretty darn cold today", and below that is COLD.
Blue skies. Snow is great. Slight dusting. Night skiing until 6.
Think snow.
