High today so far: -8 F and risingLow today: -33 FWell today was interesting. I had more mechanical problems on my bike than ever before. Big mistake: Putting an old (but never used) tire on the back wheel. Why? Read on.

Wrapping up field work
High today: -25 FLow today: -34 FOvernight last night and this morning I did my last weather balloon launches for my grad study. I am very excited that this is over - I enjoyed the field work but it is nice to not have to be flaky on people and to be able to plan trips more than a few days in advance... not to mention feeling like I can now crank through this thesis thing.

Today's ski was really good, I am getting confident with my current capabilities on the skis and ready to bomb down hills again.

We established a really nice snowpack this past week with 3 days in a row of snowfall. Locations around town saw anywhere from 4" to a foot, and north of here they received up to two feet of snow. Hooray!!!! I had
