BRRRR...

Below zero the last three nights, but warmer weather over the weekend.

We went to Evart for a funeral Friday in the new Envoy and were pleased the temperature was uniform and constant while the outside temps began at 8 below and increased to 10 above.  The Envoy has manual climate control whereas Kathy's car and the old Expedition each are  automatic so learning the settings will take some time.

Am also trying out a new winter coat I got a few weeks ago at Columbia outlet; it's working very well in this weather.  The coat has a waterproof and breathable shell and fleece  liner, a new design for me.  I like the flexibility of removing the liner and using the shell by itself over other layers while x-c skiing and snow removing or inserting it for bitter cold and less active outdoor work.

Hope to get out this weekend for a couple skis if the temps and winds permit.
