Subzero again

[jhetley]

Just barely subzero this morning, with little wind.  Nothing like the Minus-Ohmigod readings they've been reporting lately from the Arctic Wastes of northern Maine: -30 F with Added!  Windchill!

Still no fresh snow.  Next chance of precipitation predicted for Tuesday, and that may be rain.  Like we needed any more ice on the sidewalks...

The surplus backup power supply has migrated out to the nature center, replacing an ancient unit, undersized (280 VA as opposed to 450), with a dead battery.  I could replace that battery, but it isn't worth the effort, with the power needs of modern computers.

I credit the fact that people think I'm younger than I am to those Aroostook winters. Up there, we actually spend several months of the winter cryogenically frozen by the weather. So physiologically, we are younger. However, the leading cause of mortality up there is freezer burn.

On the other side of the ledger, you have to figure the apparent length of winter and the year in general...
