The winter solstice arrived with appropriate weather. When I went down to the river this morning it was somewhere in the low to mid forties with a brisk wind from the north. I wore pogies today for the first time in a very long time: last winter was so mild that I don't think I wore them after February.
At least it was bright and sunny today, and I got good and warm during my hour-long paddling session. The paddling itself is almost never that bad in cold weather; the hard part is standing on the dock before and after, getting the boat down or putting it away, and changing clothes. I guess it's time to get used to it, as the forecast for the next week calls for more seasonable weather.
