(We don't dash anymore.) Air temperature 26 F, dew point 23, windchill 13. Wind NNE 15 mph gusting to 20, light snow falling. We have acquired about 2" of fluff so far.
I have decided that the current weather is the result of ballot-box stuffing by the Winter Party (Decembrists?) and must be opposed by all Spring Party activists. Fellow-travelers from Autumn will be accepted into our ranks but subject to purge when we win.
