 | Comments: |
As of today, Imp Trail was a solid sidewalk all the way up, comprised of frozen granular snow, ice, icy monorail where the snow has melted off, bare ground, and rocks. Sharp traction did the job. These conditions will of course change with the incoming storm.
The clouds were high enough so that the Presidentials were in full view. Kinda warm for January! |
