Well, its -15F here with wind chills pushing -50F when the wind gusts, and its all about covering up. Winter coats, ski hats, mittens or gloves, and a scarf, facemask, or your coat collars pulled up high around your face. If you are going to be outside more than a minute or two you end up dressed like Khan on Ceti Alpha V.

I'm sure he has a good view of McKinley from his back porch! P.S. Snow and winter rock.

Very pretty. I guess I should have specified the East in general as apparently I picked on the one place with a few mountains =)
Regardless, you are going to lose in an argument saying the eastern side of the states has bigger mountains and better riding than the west. That was my point. Nice shot of McKinley Hele-skiing Alaska is on my to do list in the next 5 years.

The coast got hit by that last ice storm really bad. few inches of ice covering everything. Lots of trees down and a lot of damage. Whats left of a historic tree in my front yard needs to come down now in the spring before it falls into the road. Can't say I've seen anything as bad since the ice storm of 98. (the one in 98 was in a class of its own) | |||

98 was...a total force of nature.
I was lucky up here, got to about 48degrees with minimal rain in my town but just north there were flood warnings. back down to 12 today but thankfully there isn't a layer of ice like that again. Be careful! I feel for your tree =/ | ||

I didn't provide a picture of McKinley btw, those are all of Washington/the presidential range in NH. An interesting side conversation is discussing how "big" mountains are. Of course the mountains on the east have a typically lower elevation than those of the rockies due to the east being closer to sea level (also a fascinating topic if you're ever interested in figuring out exactly how that is determined) however Mt. Washington's Prominance is still the 59th highest in the US, and sans Hawaii/Alaska it is the 25th most prominent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._United_States That said, on a global scale McKinley is the only one that is really significant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._by_prominence Hurray for both winter and mountains, a few of my favorite things! Edit: Added US Prominance ranking for only the continental US because I got curious and thought you may be too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
