27 Jan
 
8:15am - The snow, clouds, every spruce branch and aspen tree top, the very air you try to breathe.  Everything is a torrent of chaotic motion as violent northwest winds gusted to fifty miles per hour.  It doesn’t look like we’ll be flying anytime soon.
 
12:20pm – Hot cocoa and graham crackers
 
1:30pm – It warmed up to -4F, and the weather station on Ojibway tower reports gusts to 57mph.
 
2:30pm – A game of hearts.  Rolf, 118; John, 102; and Alex beat Don (37 to 53) when Alex shot the moon during the last hand.
 
4:00pm – a pre-dinner sauna
 
6:00pm - dinner
 
10:30pm - lights out and a forecast that makes us think we’ll fly tomorrow.
