On purpose, I scheduled a five-day job in the UP during winter solstice just to see what it was like.
I lucked out and it got to -40F with wind and snow. Actual true no BS blizzard. But I had to drive so that made it interesting.
I’m heading south out of Houghton along Lake Superior on my left, the driver’s side. Bright sunshine. I mean clear and crisp with tiny, tiny sparkles of super-cooled water molecules reflecting from everywhere. Still as the calm before a storm. I’m going maybe 40 mph with sunglasses and gloves and then just like that, suddenly the world looked like I was inside a ping-pong ball. Me and the Dodge Caravan suspended in pure random whitnenss.
