I joined a lab and went on a hike

The many layers of snow covering a volvo that never moved.

One layer of snow from a great snowstorm

Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire . . . It was covered in snow - waist deep in drifts.

Notice the hole where my foot crashed through the top layer of hard snow and I went in up to my knees.

The lab I work for is headed by Michele Rucci.
