It could be worse. All this precip could be snow... like it is on Mount Washington. Of course, I'm deranged enough to not mind that, since my ski gear is still right in the hallway. I could go for a few more turns. But I digress...

It's been snowing every day up on the rock pile for the better part of a week. 90 mph winds have been common. And today it's more freezing rain and ice. So bad that summit crews have been forced to use "shovels, mallets and crowbars" to open doors!

Workers on the summit seem pretty resigned that, for them, spring is a long way off.

I know the feeling, folks. I know the feeling.
