Geoff writes: we’ve been out the last seven days, skiing or flying (and yesterday, failing to fly) so we decided to stay in today to catch up on some work for our fast approaching conference. The forecast was not that good either, and in fact it was cloudy here (and east of here) all day, though nice and sunny inland, including at the ski resorts. So we got a lot of work done, which was good.

The weather is getting much cooler over the next week, which is good for the skiing – even if it doesn’t snow (though some is forecast for Wednesday) the snow quality should be good.
