I'm glad I got a late start today - more on that in a moment - because the gray, slightly foggy and very windy conditions of earlier this morning have given way to clearing skies, sun, but with snow still falling.
There's still a bit of wind out there, but it's not flag-flapping, drift-creating Siberian gusts any more.
I was late because of one of the many joys of daily life in snow country, along with machine failures and snowplow-blocked roads. Snow building up along the north wall of my house (something that actually insulates us against frozen pipes and other possible occurrences) instead pushed against the gas meter, causing it to shut down. So a major dig and reset later, and the gas is flowing, a shower was taken and a late but hot breakfast could be enjoyed. I always think about this when I hear about people buying resort homes in a place like this. Wouldn't it be nicer to have the hotel staff take care of all that stuff. All right, it's just sour grapes; I don't have a few million for my resort home in Hawaii yet. But winter does keep you busy in Myoko.
