A shot of whisky in black coffee was my favorite after spending a lot of time out in the cold. I no longer drink, but that was warming through and through.highdesert wrote: Wed Dec 29, 2021 10:29 amcooper wrote: Tue Dec 28, 2021 4:52 pm About 3 inches of snow and still coming down pretty good. 25 degrees. Went out deer hunting for a few hours and just came in to sit by the fire and have a cup of coffee. And by hunting I mean walking up and down wooded hills in the perfectly quiet snow. Didn't even see deer tracks like I did yesterday. I'm sure they're all hunkered down to ride out the snow. It was so beautiful. No deer, but another successful hunt nonetheless
Sounds bucolic, though I'd need something stronger than coffee after a hike through the snowy woods.
Years ago when I was in Scotland, we stopped at a rural hotel for lunch. As we walked in I looked into a room with a large roaring fireplace, in front of it were two men sitting facing each other in high backed chairs. I assumed they just returned from hunting as their rifles were leaning against the fireplace and their dogs were lying at their feet. And of course they were drinking some of the "cratur" - whisky.

A winter storm packing heavy snow blew into Washington DC on Monday, closing government offices and schools and grounding the president’s helicopter. As much as 10in of snow was forecast for the District of Columbia, northern Virginia and central Maryland through the afternoon.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for the area until 4pm ET. Wind gusts of up to 35mph were forecast and travel was expected to be very difficult because of the hazardous conditions, the weather service said.
“The timing of this isn’t great,” said NWS meteorologist David Roth. “For the DC area, it’s morning rush hour. At least for places to the north-east, it’ll be closer to midday.”

With snow blanketing the streets, the White House Press briefing was canceled, although Biden’s other public events were still on.
