rebeccmeisterNo photos this time because I was too busy. Weather.gov said it was -3°F when I left the house, but then the thermometer on the back porch said +5°F, and I'm inclined to agree with the back porch thermometer.
I tried wearing a different face mask, to see if that helped reduce the fogging of my glasses, and it did! However, as best I can tell, the mask filter started to get clogged with ice crystals (O2 Designs mask, company now defunct). That started to make it so hard to breathe that I ripped off the mask by the time I reached the first major hill climb of the commute. By that point the air was warm enough that it didn't feel like I was losing *too* much body heat just by the act of breathing.
Anyway, this is going to be a ludicrously busy week now. Wish me luck...lots of animal wrangling and meetings of various sorts. Not boring, at least?
