Wow, we've been in the deep freeze for quite a while now. It's so bad that we're excited that it's going to be above freezing tomorrow. Whitney is really glad to be home for break right now, with the wind chill it hasn't been much above zero recently in Maine. That makes for very, very cold days snowboarding.
Her first race is this weekend at Massanutten, giant slalom. It's going to be way colder than we had thought; some of the coaches there said it was going to be in the single digits this weekend. Brr. Especially since she's had problems keeping her feet warm. We may need to look into foot warmers for her boots. It would not be good if she got frostbite on her toes.
The downside of all this cold is that there isn't any snow around. We got an inch at Massanutten when we were down last week and some of that is still around since it's been that cold but we haven't had a good snowfall yet. This cold would be a bit more bearable if we had a nice covering of snow. There's an outside chance we may get some here on Wednesday night/Thursday morning but it looks like the best part of the storm will be further east. I did hear that there's talk of a blizzard from the storm up in Maine; just glad Whitney doesn't need to get back up there anytime soon.
