nine below!!
The weather has bad timing. It's all kind of winter storm out there, but it won't get me out of any work at all: things'll be all cleared away by monday morning. It's blizzarding right now, but a blizzard at night is no concern of ours, snug as we are in our little home here. Also, it has snowed before, I believe--whatever the surging hordes at Trader Joe's this afternoon may have thought. It seemed that they were getting ready to be snowed in their houses for a week or two; was there a forecast that I missed? So snow, whatever. No, the big news today is that when I checked the weather this morning they were reporting nine below in Beford. Hoowee! It got warmer (all the way up to 12 or 14!) by the time I went out, so I didn't get to experience the wonder of this remarkable cold, but I do know that I could see my breath on our stairwell in the middle of the day. Good times. And there is looking like it's going to be a good lot of snow, too.
