Frewind | Dec 2008, Driving to work in -50 windchills

Posted on Dec 1, 2010

I love this one. The radio station was playing “In God’s Country” by U2 during some of the coldest wind-chill temps I had seen. Here’s the original post.

Driving to work this morning on the coldest day in Minnesota in 10 months I took out my camera she shot the drive.  Amazing how packed and “white” the roads are.  Surprisingly, in Minnesota we can get the road to a normal cement or black top look once temps get “up” into the twenties and react with the road salt.  Well…I am driving in my pre-heated car and noticed the signs of extreme cold that I had forgotten about.  The roads drift, sometimes it whites-out, exhaust pipes emit a fog and car windows are frosted over.  It’s surreal but real, especially when the DJ shows some humor by playing U2′s “In God’s Country”. The air temp was actually about -10F with winds gusting up to 40 MPH, creating the wind-chill effect of a lifetime.

Frewind – A repost of our time-lapse tree “taking down” from last year

Since we're about the reverse the process seen in this video, I thought it would be a great time to introduce "Frewind", a flashback re-post, "best of" title that I'll use to pull great posts from the past.  

Seen here, Rylie and I dismantle the Christmas from last season.  This is such a process, that it was a trip to see what I'm about to pull out of storage and do in reverse.  Maybe I should publish this video in reverse!  HEY!
