The Pacific Ocean? Awesome. <a target="new" href="http://dmacmichael.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/spaceneedle.jpg">Space Needle</a>?

When I was little (early 80s), I wrote a short poem about planes: <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

I love to watch it fall and I love to shovel it. I especially love snow because I know I will have to shovel it. The more it snows, the more I have to shovel...it's a happy parallel. Growing up in <a target='new' href='http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/comments/2010/DSC_0029.jpg'>Wisconsin</a>, my dad let me do all the shoveling. As a young boy, before I was allowed to use the gas mower in the summer, snow shoveling was a 'big boy' thing to do...it made me feel proud to help my family and neighbors by completing a useful task. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

If you live in the northeast, you are either cleaning up or experiencing a fairly strong Nor'easter that is moving up along the coast from the Mid-Atlantic. This storm brought a large bought of rain to everyone except for the elevations above 3000 feet. The deluge of rain meant flooding for some or the lost of snow packs for others. And along with the torrential rains, high winds brought downed trees damaging cars, houses or anything else in their paths including power lines. So it might be a day or two until these affected regions will even be able to power up and read this comment. But there is hope as high pressure is expected to build in behind the exiting low returning sunny skies and warming temperatures for New England for the coming week. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

I couldn't have asked for a better day to take that trek. I started out skiing out of the front entrance of the observatory and then headed north down along the <a target='new' href='http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/comments/2010/view up from hishak 2.JPG'>track</a>. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

My time skiing and working at Attitash were spent wearing a light fleece jacket and at times, even just a vest. I even saw people out on road bikes on route 302. All signs that old man winter is starting to slowly lose his grip in the valley. As we would expect, here on the summit winter continues. Temperatures haven't risen above freezing and when we arrived yesterday, temperatures were in the teens with a brisk 20-30 mph breeze blowing. Of course this is rather calm and mild on the mountain, even for this time of year, but that didn't keep it from being a bit of shock to my body after such mild weather in the valley. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.
