You would think that the last place on earth offering instructions on thermodynamics would be Vermont in November, but you would be wrong. I actually think that because it's cold that we are more sensitive to what little warmth is left. On our morning walk we go through various periods of cold/warmth, and some of those places are relatively consistent.
This section of the road is fairly nondescript, but it is usually one of the warmest spots. It is angled toward the morning sun and is unshaded. Trees on both sides cut down on the wind. It is also a place where we're walking uphill which helps warm us up. Early spring is actually the best times to observe the effects of sun, wind, topography, reflection, etc. as you can easily see the effects on the snow pack.
