Re: The "Cost" of the matter

Oxymoron alert: "lovely arctic high?" That ranks (or tanks) with 'military intelligence', 'jumbo shrimp' and 'drug-free school zone.' 
Today's expected high is mid-20s. Feels colder. Sunny & clear, but windy, and no snow cover. The kind of weather that's pretty much guaranteed to kill off a lot of stubborn garden greenery. 
BTW, I don't paddle all summer, I paddle all year. I welcomed 2008 with a jaunt up my river on New Year's day. Bird report: Cedar waxwings, downy woodpeckers, a yellow-shafted flicker, black ducks, goldfinches, red-tailed hawks, bluejays, a kingbird. No great blue herons, for a change, and the only Canada geese were of the plastic decoy breed.
How many on this list are also birdwatchers?

And we have a beauty here this morning - the air is so cold there's  
mist on the water and it's freezing on our trees.   I'm watching the  
main channel freeze over - it's clearly visible as the ice crystallizes.

Makes me just want to get out there and paddle around.... or, maybe  
take a trip somewhere warm.   I'll get back to you about which one.

But in the meantime, there's a lovely arctic high over top of us -  
clear blue skies, nose-freezing temps (0F and dropping)   I can only  
send it along in hopes of clearing up some of that political smog.

Best

Doug
