Swept Aside

Few acts are as painful in Colorado as brushing three to four inches off the Subaru, just so you can drive away in the opposite direction of a chairlift to a meeting, just in order to hold onto your teetering job. I mean, shouldn't you just go skiing? Yes, but you've still got to find a warm and dry place to sleep at night, you know? Haven't heard from the AJ field reporters today, and we don't really want to. It had to be nice, with three to four inches of fairy dust over the pack. More snow is in the forecast for tonight. And tomorrow. So it should be a good weekend and my priorities have been realigned, so research on the snow surface-gravity interface will now be underway through Monday.
