I like to think all those people that dress like we live in Antarctica ain't right in the head. Helps keep me sane.

Had to engage my "walking on ice" mode. 3 inches in the past hour and visibilty down to a less than a couple hundred feet when I crossed the hwy. Sure would be nice if people would turn their lights on.

My walk.

Typical weather for Houghton in December. I don't dress like I'm going on a Arctic mission unless I'm going to be outside for a long period of time.

Shorts are just a little to breezy for my liking this time of year.
