Cold and clear: 32F/0C and bright blue skies. I wore a skull cap and gloves but no jacket, but I did have a secret weapon under my shirt: longsleeve silk baselayer. I got it last winter from campmor or sierratradingpost.com. I'm going to have to ask Santa for a few more.

No foot down on the way in. We'll have to see if I can duplicate the feat on the way home.
