The home fires
Smoke at 7 below
What Hercules lacked as a snow maker around here, the storm more than made up for in its remarkable ability to bring on the deep freeze. Blame the cold on the expansion of the Arctic Vortex, a phenomenon, usually confined to the polar regions, that had us "enjoying" temperatures which bottomed out at seven below at daybreak. I don't think it ever got into negative territory all last winter, and readings that low are increasingly rare around here. I'll need to have both our woodstoves going to cope with the chill, and when I looked out at sunrise through trees, it was clear that my next door neighbor already had his stoves cranking.
