We woke to winter ice wonderland. Temperature in the low twenties. The freezing rain had stopped, but still very slippery out. We kept an eye on the weather forecasts and road condition reports all morning. Got our break during the heat of the day. The weather window we wanted. All the road conditions improved from “icy in spots” to “wet”. Left at noon, got over Monument Divide in dense freezing fog, and settled at Chatfield in Littleton by three. Got a visit with Matt, Alex, and Austin. That’s the new baby’s name: Austin Lynn.
