What I do on a snow day

So today we got a day off from school, not for snow, but for cold. The school district decided that it was too cold for the students who had to wait out side for school bus' to come and pick them up. So what do I do? I spend roughly 2 hours out side taking photos. According to NOAA, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, it was a balmy -3 degrees out when I was out taking photos. So I ended up wearing a long sleeve under armor shirt, a second long sleeve shirt, a sweat shirt, an 800 down jacket, long under wear, thick jeans, extremely thick smart wool socks, leather boots and 2 hats (hey its less than I wear when I'm cutting weight for wrestling...... I'm only partially kidding). So once I have put all this on and look more or less like a stuffed sausage I drive up north of Lyons to rabbit mountain open space. It was just a beautiful day, perfectly still, not even the slightest wind and it was really sunny. So it made wonderful conditions for taking photos because of the sun you could really see the ice that covered all of the plants and pretty much every thing else. So in the end I took roughly 50 photos and froze my ass off. But it was very worth it.
