Another beautiful sunset

The wind is howling outside, with gusty episodes.  The Friday evening traffic on the nearby highway streams by in both directions.  We didn't ski today;  the high today didn't get much above 5°F, with strong winds (20-30 mph) -- that's the real challenge for being outdoors in these temperatures.  Any exposed skin gets cold rapidly.  Really rapidly.

I can see the snow blowing off the drifts outside the windows. They're high.  This has been a year with abundant snow so far, according to our friends.  Snowier than "normal" -- although not exceptional, they say.

The sunset was yet another spectacular one, as the clouds broke up in late afternoon.

I love the banner that's out in front of the visitor center in the nearby national park.

It says: The best hot chocolate in the world.  In three steps.  1. Do an outdoor winter activity in one of the parks. 2. Prepare hot chocolate. 3. Enjoy.

Perfect advice.
