So much for that downwinder…
David Hooper

After a full day of field and lab work yesterday, and thereby missing the downwind opportunities everyone was yammering about, I was willing to forego today's (which Beau was waxing poetic about) because, well, it also just snowed a foot+ at the ski area, with more forecasted for today. My winter priorities being what they are, the choice was clear. But, when delivered the cruel report at 6 am that it was 32 degrees with mixed rain and snow and gusting to 40 mph at 4000 ft, I at least thought I could get some more sleep and enjoy a paddle in that magic window of lull after an all-night storm. But dang, I didn't expect completely dying winds and dumping rain. All. Day.
Mother Nature can be a tough mistress sometimes. Maybe she's upset by our unmitigated greenhouse gas farts under the atmospheric sheets.

Correction, I was Peter M., rather than Beau, who was waxing poetic! My apologies to both for the mis-attribution!

Here you go, Dave. Just to rub it in.

Ha! Thanks for that!
Me, I'm just pushing back the frontiers of science and educating our youth so they can save our planet. No biggie. You can thank me later…😉
On the plus side for today, I at least got my new gooseneck fixed so I can actually use it, hopefully to make videos as fun as yours!
