hort days, long nights and a high precipitation rate coupled with low temperatures are associated with snow and ice. What a wonderful time for extended environmental observations. Things get striped down to their essentials as the landscape takes on a sketch-like appearance. In the northern hemisphere the coldest month on average is January, something to auspiciously anticipate. I just ordered a new pair of mountain pack boots to allow longer exposures to cold weather conditions. This is going to be good.
