Right now, it's 7 F in my carport. I guess I'll need a jacket, tomorrow.
I hear you, It's -3 this morning. I put my jacket in my car for when it gets cold. It's supposed to be above 0 for the next few days so it probably won't be needed, but that means more snow. Whoopp!! Sucks without the Dome doesn;t it.

They were comparing us to Florida on the news last night here. It isn't often that its 38 in Fla and 60 in Halifax in December; or any time for that matter.

Sun is out and we've got snowflurries. 23* here now and probably won't get much higher. It feels like it but at least it's not below 0 here.

You almost don't need coffee to wake up.
