Hey Bev, good to see your post on the board. Wondered how the CO winter had gone. We had a pretty mild winter in the Anchorage, punctuated by VERY cold spells. The rest of the state was pretty normal, cold to very cold. The area where our cabin is located was 30 to 50 below most of the winter, and got a lot of snow, with 3 feet still on the ground, as of last weekend.
Every time we'd get a warm spell in Anchorage, the cold would all go south and to the east coast. Man, they got hammered. We were jealous of all of the snow that they were getting ;)
Brian, hope you had some good ski's for your crazy winter.
And, you're right Bev, 30 deg (above) in south TX is COLD. When we first moved up to Alaska, we traveled back to TX for Christmas one year. I brought my Arctic gear down, to show everyone what we wore. A blue norther passed through, and I wore my gear, and felt like I was freezing. The humidity just killed the insulating ability of the goose down. Then, when we went home, the goose down had soured, and stank so badly that I had to trade it in :( Honest! That's no Texas story.
It seems that a person can get acclimated to to the dry cold up here, but don't think it's possible to get acclimated to the wet cold on the TX gulf coast.
Hope you all have a wonderful Easter, and spring.
Cheers,
Larry D.
