almost 3 degrees today
Jake, you're either:
1) Sitting in a sauna
2) Overdoing the Motown, or probably
3) Counting in funny money again. ;)
It actually is hot over here - the temperature has jumped from minus 26 two days ago right up to minus 7 (in real money!) today, along with a light sprinkling of about 30cm of snow. Anyway, until you've been out for a walk when there is a wind-chill factor of minus 45 or lower , then you haven't really experienced winter!

Yuck! There I was, coldest winter in 20 years while going through basic training in RTC, Great Lakes, Illinois. December through February (the coldest months). One morning at about 0400 while chipping away on the Grinder, -100 degrees with the wind chill factor. Seriously. Went to the chow hall, walked through the door, something in the eye, rubbed the eye and boom, eyelashes gone! They just broke right off. And they told us not to touch our eyes for at least 30 seconds after coming in from weather like that. Doh!
Okay, back to the topic, if I remember correctly, the original one ran for about a month or two and just would not stop. Some were begging to please make it stop. It really stunk around here.
Now to schedule the rain to fall only between midnight and dawn ...
The fire is crackling (scent of burning yellow cedar) and the mulled wine smells ready and company is coming so goodnight and happy dreams to all.
