Greetings Tech Tails readers!

Looks like Mother Nature cannot seem to make up her mind here in beautiful Vermont. This weekend I took a stroll to our co-op in Burlington bundled up in the heavy winter layers to brave the frigid temperatures, and this morning I walked to my car in a flannel and a light jacket and felt the warmth of that looming spring sun on my face. It’s been a chilly one this year, but spring is right around the corner and it will certainly be fun getting in some turns on the mountain in a t-shirt. Soon!

And speaking of that winter chill, I had the unfortunate experience of leaving my (new!) iPhone 6s Plus in my vehicle on one of the colder evenings last week for longer than I’d like to admit. Once I remembered and rescued it from its icy prison, I recalled the words of our friend and technician here at Small Dog Electronics, Nate Persing, who once said in a previous issue of Tech Tails regarding cold temperatures and devices, “Let the device sit for at least 30 minutes before powering back on.” After waiting thirty minutes to ensure the device was properly adjusted to the room temperature, I held my breath, held that power button, and voila! That Apple logo boot screen was a welcomed sight to behold.

Just a few more months until that idyllic Vermont summer weather here in Waitsfield. Countdown those days!

We have some good articles for you this week, and just to remind you readers out there, we technicians are always happy to answer any questions and accept any feedback you might have about these Tech Tails articles. Don’t hesitate to reach out.
