I have handwarmers, toe warmers, base layer, mid layer, outer layer, hats, scarves, gloves....The high is now forecast to be 14 degrees on the ski mountain to which we sally forth. I don't even want to think about the low. I am ready, though it will be difficult to bend any joint with all these layers. The good thing is if I fall, I should just bounce like a rubber ball. Unless all my cytoplasm has frozen, in which case I may break into a million little shards.
If I were in charge of the universe, I would not make a single day below 32 degrees. And none hotter than 90. But God, for whatever reason, feels it necessary to make the high 14 degrees on the very day I will be on the mountain. I suppose one thing He is teaching me is, "Whatever comes your way, be prepared." And don't complain. He who brings the ice, also brings the warmth.
Job 37:9-10 (NIV)
The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds. [10] The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen.

Remember as you ski on the icy slopes that there is no such thing as bad snow, just bad skiers. And no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.
ReplyDeleteAs for the ideal temps you are requesting, move to Seattle....
