Baby, It's Cold Outside!
We have had some seriously cold weather the past week or two. Currently, (according to the Weather Channel), the temperature in Colorado Springs, (about 6500 feet in elevation), is 4 degrees below zero, windchill of 17 below. Of course, here in Woodland Park, at an elevation of about 8400, it is colder, 10 below zero, windchill a balmy 33 below.
The last time we had weather this cold was in the early 1900's.
I didn't sign up for this....LOL
However, the cold weather does make for some interesting photos, as long as you are willing to go out in it!
Fountain Creek runs down Ute Pass on US Hwy 24, thru Manitou Springs and down into Colorado Springs. I took a ride to where the creek is just above Manitou, and stopped at a pull out to get these shots.
Do you know how hard it is to shoot with big wooly gloves on?
Or how long it takes to get frost bite if you don't wear them?
Check out this chart from the Weather Channel, and stay safe!

You could make a ton of margaritas with this...
