In the Southern Hemisphere.

After 3 days of sub zero temps, I can deal with spring getting here sooner. Not supposed to be subzero until late Jan/early Feb.

Well, it's referred to as "entering the bright time of the year."

Temperatures notwithstanding.

Went out on the balcony at 4 AM-ish, did a quick welcoming ritual, ran back inside.  No, I was not skyclad.  Not at 24°, I warn't.

Happy Yule.  Brrr.

My friend in Cedar Rapids was bitching about the exact same thing when we were gaming this past weekend!

It sucked, but we got 7-10" of ice from it, time to go fishing. I don't mind the cold, hate the wind.

I did notice just the other day that it was 9 degrees here in STL-land, but 9 below in Prairie Du Chien. My wife had just returned from the Keys, where high temps were in the 80s.

After a blistering summer that dragged into a very warm & dry autumn, I'm glad the cold temperatures have finally returned to the Colorado front range.  We've had maybe two snow storms so far this winter, with only one of them (last Fridays) dropping a decent amount of snow.

But we need more snow and cool temperatures, else all that lovely Kentucky Bluegrass so popular out here will be dry and dead by next July.  Not that I would find that to be a bad thing mind you...

I've been to flat track ice racing, crazy stuff.

[Unisaw]

Thank goodness.  i still haven't gotten used to the darkness of the PNW.

Weather thingee on the screen tells me it's 34 out.  So I will attempt a bike ride.  Hopefully I don't suck too bad.

(I've been holed up inside since the cold snap started.   One gets out of shape too darn quick.)
