when recording in snow...

some tips for recording in snow:

1. be careful if your contact mics are warm... if you place them on ice, they will stick to it, like your tongue on the inside of the refrigerator.

2. your baseball cap can work pretty good as an impromptu protective cover for your recorder if it starts snowing.

3. sometimes even in snow and cold, a dog will run up to your mics and try to lick them, perhaps thinking they are food or play toys...
