Gray early, and before long snow. Fine flakes, wind-whipped. Got a lot of desk work done, then looked up and saw heavier snow out there, so I went for a hike with dog.

Cold, quick hike. Heard a chickadee—and that was it, bird-wise. It being in the teens (F), with a stout north wind, I mostly heard the sound of fast-moving air and the crunch of my footfalls as we hurried up and down. Quickest hike in a while.

A cold blow adobe acrobat x download. There is no bad weather, though.
