Monday, January 15: It’s been extremely cold, which has caused a lot of burst pipes, including some across the street from us. Lots of activity over there the day after the incident, with clean up crews and a plumber on site.

 
Tuesday, January 16: Another effect of the cold is the lake finally has significant ice on it. I stopped to take this picture on my way down to town.

 
Wednesday, January 17: Out on the slopes enjoying temperatures above zero Fahrenheit and fresh falling snow.

 
Thursday, January 18: Cleanup still in progress across the street, with this loud machine (fan? dehumidifier?) running round the clock.

 
Friday, January 19: Another somewhat foggy day on the mountain. This one featured youth ski racers, which meant there were many small people skiing way better and faster than me down to the lift.

 
Saturday, January 20: I checked four different weather forecasts before I decided to drive down to the city to spend time with friends, and all of them agreed there was just a small chance of freezing rain and that was just on the mountain. Imagine my surprise when I ran into plenty of it an hour south. I navigated it safely but it was a slow and tense drive for long stretches.

 
Sunday, January 21: Hug Day, for which Happy Color had several pictures to do.
