Video by Dave Griffin at Bear Rocks during the morning hours of today

His words ~

“Just to give you perspective of how cold it was up there yesterday with the wind chill. Video is 45 seconds. I recorded with my glove off. That’s how long it took before my hand was freezing and I couldn’t stand it any longer. Dolly Sods is no joke in the winter. Be prepared if you go this time of year.”
