SO COLD IT HURTS SUNRISE

When I arrived at Bay City Campground this a.m. if was -23F. It’s that type of weather that is so cold it hurts. The parking lots was plowed nicely. The snow on the beach was quite deep and over the height of my boots.

I tried to leave the camera outside on the tripod, but the batteries went dead in minutes in the extreme cold. I sat in the car with the heated seat on high and dashed out periodically to take some shots. It took more time to scarf and glove-up than it did to quickly dash out, snap a few frames and head back to the car before the sting of the cold became unbearable.

The clouds and steam turned out in abundance this a.m. It was another beautiful Bay City sunrise scene.
