I just got back from my walk which I usually take in the morning but
decided to wait until it warmed up a bit. According to local news it is
the coldest day so far in this cold snap. It is in the low 40s right
now but clear skies and sun. At the house it felt warmer than around
the corner at the park where apparently a wind was coming down the
valley creating a wind chill.
When I first moved here in the 1990s the only real cold days were in
January and might only last for a week. Now it starts in early
November. I go from shorts and a t-shirt, skip over the warm-up suit
(mainly wind breaker stuff) and to the flannel warmups.

noozguru, according to cnn weather it's currently -8 in Fairfield. But
the sun is shining so that helps a little. Farmers Almanac, with an
86% accuracy rate, is predicting a winter of piercing cold. But I
don't know if that's for all the country or just a portion.

Enjoying the new ice age? It was down in the mid-20s overnight here.
Any below 0's on FFL?
