Thanks, zephyr. It was around 6°F; as you said...brrr. You are correct about the muddy water: it had snowed the past couple of days, which most likely had leeched some mud from the hillsides and into the Blackwater River. Here's one from yesterday, on a slightly warmer day, looking at the Great Falls of the Potomac (Virginia):

My son, who is stationed in Germany, but spends most weekends in Switzerland, just sent me this photo, titled "Assessing the Drop". Just thought some NWHikers would enjoy a little eye candy on this cloudy, rainy weekend!
