The definition of "cold comfort"? The winds last night were howling, and they are still hanging around today. It is nice when the wind stops momentarily and you can feel the sun.

Six inches of snow on the driveway yesterday morning, -11.2° F, wind ~ 20 knots from the NW, wind chill ~ -40° F/C. Snowblower is down, use the manual shovels, three spells of work to clear it without frostbite. Today is -8.9° F, still, no snow since yesterday. Beautiful double sunbow this morning, but my finger aches from the cold yesterday (old injury damage, it does that when the air pressure changes quickly, too.) Winter’s here.

I actually saw the sun today! The morning was grey and cloudy as usual, but it disappeared during the afternoon, reminding us that the round yellow thing is still up there and not just a mythical thing, as we might otherwise be tempted to think it to be around this time of year.

Loverly on the bus stop...NOT!! Buses and trains seemed to be lacking in heat as well. And we get a more of the tomorrow morning, high today is only supposed to hit maybe 35º. BUT by Christmas Day will have a repeat of last week's balmy weather and temperatures with rain in the forcast. Merry Christmas y'all.

About 10" of snow in the valley and waiting for the third snowstorm in seven days to come rolling through here in Utah. There's supposed to be another coming through on Christmas Day as well. Woot!!

Temperatures in low teens if you're a thermometer, near 0 if you are affected by wind chill.
