As the snow is melting the moisture in the air is hanging thick over the Land School in a dense fog. I can barely see out from the Homestead to the Athletic field. We are looking forward to the Land School Loppet this weekend, and I am sure there will still be snow. A friend was telling me that in the morning hours yesterday her husband went out skate-skiing and could go anywhere because there was a crust on top of the snow pac. It seems that the skiers this weekend can probably choose their snow conditions by the time of day, since overnight temperatures will be well below freezing and daytime temps climbing above.
Today Jen and I went to Stillwater for errands. As we drove across the bridge, the fog got even thicker and we could not see the city at all. Later, as we were heading home, we could see the bridge from the shore, just floating on a cloud of fog, like in a movie or something. Usually a fog like this will cook off after a few hours or at least by midday. Not today. One thing we can look forward to is the hoarfrost that will come when the fog does start to freeze. It could be just perfect for the Loppet.
