https://www.psychiccowgirl.com/mwgyrsi1 Growing up in the Rocky Mountain West, I’ve always eyed winter storm systems with a grin.  Snow.  Cold.  As a kid, it meant possible snow days (including a memorable lake effect snow as a kid that dropped three-plus feet on my brother and I’s birthday).  As an adult it has often meant challenging driving conditions, cold days working outside, and having to keep a spare camera battery in my long underwear.  Double digits below zero drain camera batteries like nobody’s business.

see Yeah, it was a long day.  I limped into Manchester that night, immeasurably thankful to be able to throw my goods into my little apartment and tuck into a local B&B as temperatures dropped to -20F.
