Spent the day east of Cheyenne, a few miles south of I80, a few miles north of the Colorado state line...beautiful day...high temp might have hit zero...not enough snow on the ground to cover the grass and not enough moisture in the snow to make a snowball...It was -18°F when I arrived there this morning...like I said, it may have hit zero...then again, maybe not...
But for the happy thoughts...I was out alone (sometimes I prefer to work alone...especially when I'm debugging new gear) with a piece of new equipment we haven't been able to get running properly...after some cursing and rebooting, got one of our new GPS network rovers up and running and was able to collect data for topography on two ten acre sites before the cell phone battery succumbed to the cold...I had two crews out last week in much warmer weather with the same equipment and didn't get anything done, had to rely on a back-up set of gear to keep up with our client's needs...
I'm almost thawed out...
