That is the headline for tonight's weather forecast. Considering that this headline hasn't turned up yet since I've been here, and that temperatures have been no higher than -3 degrees (during the daytime) over that span, I'm a little nervous.
On the plus side, the super-cold temperatures have made everything beautiful up here. There's a layer of hoar frost on everything outside, so every tree looks like the picture on the left, with each branch coated 360 degrees in ice crystals. And even though it hasn't snowed in a week or more, the snow is still white and beautiful, although its so cold that it squeaks underfoot so loudly that it was hard to hear what Beth was saying as I walked her to work this morning!

there's a layer of whore frost on everything? gross!
Whore frost and whory marmots, the miners, trappers, loggers, whalers and fishermen who settled this area must have missed their womenfolk!
