Snowy, and update

It's been snowing most of the day, and the low for my area is -8C, high of -3C. (That's 18F to 27F, for those who think in Fahrenheit.) About 10 minutes ago I succumbed to chilly fingers and turned on the heat in my bedroom. The blanket over my window doesn't seem to be as effective as it was last year. Maybe I should buy some corduroy or something, and make a really thick panel. But I like that the blanket is pale, so I get diffuse light through it.

It was pretty nippy last night -- reminded me of my childhood in AK. (I always kept the door to my bedroom shut, so it was far cooler than the rest of the house, even with the woodstove doing its job downstairs.)

I hope all the homeless have found shelters, I really really do.

In other news:
