Volcanic Winter

Not me, give me all the cold and snow. 10F or so is exhilarating. Beyond that, just have to dress (layer) appropriately and wear something with down insulation unless you're being active.

2010/2011 and 2014/2015 are two of the only winters I can recall in my adult life where we truly had snow persistence on the ground throughout the winter, where fallen snow isn't immediately melted within a few days. I recall that happening more as a kid in the 90's and early 2000's (grew up in central NJ). Pretty excited for the potential here for the remainder of Jan. Everything looks like it's coming together in a way that seemed fantasylandish back in Dec. Would love for another nice storm or two + enough cold to keep it on the ground.
