Because we had some house showings yesterday, the porch was open and warm. Parker and I took the opportunity to do some quality relaxing by the “fire.”

On the weekend’s ski trip I had some photographic equipment difficulty. It seems my 10-year-old Nikon Coolpix 950 creates an out-of-spec filesystem on something as large as a 512M memory card. It’s perfectly happy to use it, but the card can’t be read on Linux or Mac OSX. I have no idea where the (RS-232!) cable is for this camera, so I’m fortunate that my Windows PC at work was able to read the card (but not without some grousing). Anyway, the pics are recovered, and you can see an example in January 24’s (revised) entry.

Yesterday, skiing at Jay Peak was not for the faint of heart… very cold, very windy. Wind chills well below 0. Today felt like a gift: still cold (high maybe 10 F), still windy (at least on the lifts above the trees & at the summit), but muuch better than yesterday. Fine light snow sifted down all day freshening trails as it came. We were especially happy since Sunday was predicted to be the colder of the two days; and this prediction kept a lot of people away. Today’s entry is Chris’s commentary on this turn of events.
