The Chill Factor in New England

The chill factor was big in New England last night, wind whipped snow bore through the layers of clothing. I haven’t been subjected to such Arctic blasts in a long time. Not even in January on a dogsled trip above the Arctic Circle in Finland or a winter trip up the Norwegian coast. It brough back memories of the times I lived on Lake Monamonack in New Hampshire during the college days. I do remember we once actually had ice forming in the bathroom. In all I connected with the fridgid bite, a reminder that NE has its wild side and not just tourist country stores and high speed chairlifts. Under layers NE remains.
