Saw a coyote crossing Route 9 on my way to the post office this morning. Outside temperature according to the car was minus 2 degrees (F) at 10:15 a.m. Only the near mountains were visible from the ridge, and a row of fluffy gray clouds boiling and roiling farther out.

Joyous solstice...

Did you see the coyote's shadow? Because otherwise, it means another three months of winter!

I've never been able to get my head around F, but here it's -23C, and then there's windchill on top of that making it -39C.

Alas, I did not. Best get out the down quilt.

Minus 2F is (counts quickly on fingers; gets muddled, checks for a conversion program on the web...) around -18C.

I think we get another three months of winter, no matter what.

We were a dite warmer up here, about 0 F overnight, all that big-city climate modification. Also closer to the water. The river is starting to freeze up, in spite of the tide and salt.
