Oh boy, I left the house at -4°C and the wind was blowing hard. Especially at the summit it was really awfully cold. In order to operate the camera, I had to strip one glove. Even though I put it back on as quickly as possible, my camera hand got so cold that in fact my shoulder tingled with icy cold. Going out was totally worth, though. Twigs were covered in two centimeters of ice crystals. Absolutely great looking stuff!
Stems covered in thick ice
The new muddy logging trails were frozen solid. So walking on them was no problem at all. In fact, I made faster progress on them, than on the snowy forest roads. In contrast to the day before yesterday, the snow on the paths was compacted quite well, so it wasn't nearly as bad anymore. Very different exhaustion level.
Three hours later I returned at -7°C. Funnily, it should warm up in the night to even 0°C. Tomorrow's supposed to reach 6°C, each follwing day a bit warmer. So the snow will be gone pretty soon. Hence, there more are many more photos than usual. Sorry for the sheer amount of material.
It's satisfying every time to instantly melt the snow with pee. You folks who don't have snow are really missing out. ;-)
@lyse Great shots indeed. I love that feeling of “being on top of the world” in 45.jpg.
But man, that’s way too cold for me. 🥴 Looks like quite a few people weren’t bothered by the cold and enjoyed their Schlittenfahrt.
Yeah, I heard the snow will probably be gone by Christmas.

@movq Thanks mate! If I hadn't taken any photos, that wouldn't have been too, too bad. When walking up that mountain I was really warm and had to open my jacket a bit. Except for that section, padded pants, a winter jacket and thicker gloves would have been nice when being exposed to the wind. Of course, I have all that gear in my wardrobe. Well, next year.
Yeah, the kids certainly enjoyed riding down that steep mountain. And so did I watching them for about quarter an hour. Luckily, the sledding hill was more on the downwind side. :-)
