\"SnowSnow on Frary Peak in January<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the 6th day of triple digits here and we have been breaking records nearly everyday. It is hot. Normally we are in the upper 80’s this time of the year.<\/p>\n

So… I’m posting this to remind myself that the seasons will change, it will cool down. Eventually.<\/p>\n

It was probably about 15 degrees when I took the image above, that is about 86 degrees cooler than the predicted high of 101 today.<\/p>\n
