One Year Ago...




And with wind chill, it was somewhere around -30'F.

I took this photo in early January 2004 at a Clark 2004 rally at which I was working.

I was wearing six or seven layers of clothes, including a couple layers of ski clothes, plus gloves and three sets of liners, a balaclava, a nose-and-mouth facemask, two fleece hats, a double-layered ski jacket, ski goggles, and more. Breathing was painful, and it was fairly common (albeit very strange) to feel the sensation of your eyelashes freezing.

Being inside would have been smart, but instead I was directing traffic in a parking lot and helping people get out of their cars. Once everyone had arrived at the rally, I ran over to the sign, took this picture, and ran inside.
