Cold, Colder, Coldest

50+ MPH winds today in the DC area, 35 degrees... Winter is here! Canaan Valley is a great place to stay (when there is white stuff) and Whitetail is the best to get to when you've got a quick dose of fresh powder. Now we just need snow.

Not a single snow slope is open in the area because of the warm weather. While this warmth is not, in itself, an indicator of global warming it sure is bringing the issue to light for a great many people. I'm excited to see the innovation necessary over the next 25 years to stop and reverse this trend. The greatest change will have to come in the conservation, cleansing and reclamation of fresh water. China is exacerbating it's desertification issues with the creation of the Three Rivers Damn.
