Yeah, our temperature is expected to drop to 5F/-15C tomorrow night. I'm going to try to talk my wife into going waterfall hunting with me!Counter-pointing Armando's image above
I came by a couple of interesting waterfalls with ice forming around them (temperatures here aren't as low as at your place - about -2/-3C), but couldn't get a good angle because I didn't have the right equipment to secure myself while climbing down towards the water - at least a couple of trekking poles to stop myself from slipping and for additional points of support would have been necessary, different boots and altogether better clothing would have been an additional help. Good luck with your hunt - if light allows, I'll try again tomorrow as well.Yeah, our temperature is expected to drop to 5F/-15C tomorrow night.

My wife has some arthritis issues, so she may not be able to go in that sort of cold, but I never take her anywhere that involves difficult terrain. We have a couple of spots we can drive to where the waterfalls aren't difficult to reach, but the drive is 2-3 hours from our house.I came by a couple of interesting waterfalls with ice forming around them (temperatures here aren't as low as at your place - about -2/-3C), but couldn't get a good angle because I didn't have the right equipment to secure myself while climbing down towards the water - at least a couple of walking sticks to stop myself from slipping and for additional points of support would have been necessary, different boots and altogether better clothing would have been an additional help.

That's a long way to drive for a walk - but if the images are worth it, driving there may be, too. But I sure hope she won't have to suffer for it But in this case, maybe it's better to wait until you can make the trip a two-day affair and stay in a nice place for the night ...My wife has some arthritis issues, so she may not be able to go in that sort of cold, but I never take her anywhere that involves difficult terrain.
