The days have been amazing and the snow is (finally) starting to disappear. I can tell spring is near as I have my first blood stained page in my field book (from swatting a biting mosquito) and I have managed to swallow my first mosquito (from breathing a bit too hard after walking up a long hill). Along with the mosquitos, the streams and rivers are really starting to flow. It is amazing how fast things change from day to day.

The past couple weeks, I have been out measuring the snow ablation (melt) at our research sites. Being outside alone, away from my computer, soaking up the sun has been amazingly good for me and great for my soul.

I thought all was good after escaping Fairbanks and it’s 5th coldest January on record. However, last night, a major snow storm hit Boulder, snowing about 10 inches over night.

Thought it was pretty cool. I’m getting tired of talking about the weather (especially since I am not experiencing it right now), so this will be my last post about it for a while.
