Cold and colder...

After an exceptionally warm October and November, December's being contrary and keeps getting colder. Just been trying to get out with the dogs when it's up near zero, otherwise keeping close to home when it drops to twenty to thirty below; so here's a few pics.

One of the rare dog runs this month. When it warms up at the house, it's still going to be a lot colder down in the valley bottom where most of the trails are.

In December, the sun doesn't clear the ridge to the south, so the valley bottom stays in the shadows; it's like a trip to the twilight zone.

Sunsets are pretty cool this time of year, in more ways than one.
