the low so far
Now this is more like it. With the passage of yesterday's cold front, it got, well, appropriately cold and, with a steady wind, very wind-chilly. By the time I got this photograph in the early afternoon, it was in the mid-20s, which would be the high for the day. But at dawn, the max-min thermometer had bottomed out at four degrees above zero—a return to January normal... and January sanity. I spent most of the daylight hours stoking both wood stoves and cutting and hauling wood. Those tasks almost warmed me—twice—but, I have to admit reluctantly, I wasn't all that warm outside. I must be getting old.
