Winter

Temperature about 5F this morning, -15C, with a stiff north wind.  'Tis the season to freeze your ass off . . .

At least this weather provides me with graphic evidence that those plastic window covers were useful.  When you can see the stuff flexing in and out with each gust, you know you're saving heat money.

The joys of the older home.

(Quick check of online weather gives wind at 20 MPH, gusting to 33.)

Intrepid arctic explorers

Wife and I suited up and ventured forth, battling cabin fever (too early in the winter to succumb to such).  It's !@##$$$ing cold out there.

Met Tiger at the end of our block.  He had a few things to say about the weather, his own self.  But we couldn't help him with his door.  No sign of any other cats, in our limited sample.

As the stars gleam coldly down

7F out there, per the NWS report.  Or -14C, if you prefer those kinds of numbers.

I did another walk, after dining.  Venus looked like an aircraft on final approach to the airport.
