Icy sun morning

Air temperature 32 F, wind west about 15 mph, clear sky. Rain overnight, frozen now. Should dry off soon.

Unseasonable

Windchill 24 F out there. Air temperature 34 F, southwest wind gusting near 30 mph, mostly cloudy. Just back from a walk, Howard Street Woodchuck grazing its lawn and Ms. Spot in a driveway willing to accept petting to justify my existence.
