In Which We Demonstrate Positive Fahrenheit
One degree F (-17C) outside. I think I saw 3F/-16C in the middle of the afternoon. The wind's down somewhat, though we're still getting some house-shakers; and the snow stopped sometime around noon.
Hot biscuits and refrigerator soup for lunch (broccoli, baked beans, potatoes, meatless balls, turkey gravy, corn, carrots, onions, chicken broth, a handful of noodles, garlic, Italian seasoning, bay leaves -- I like making soup). The soup turned out a little thick -- more a stew, really -- with a pleasant, aren't-you-glad-you're-inside-where's-it's-warm flavor -- and there's enough left over for another cold day in the not-too-distant future.
Sometime in and around all the excitement of making soup, I went through yesterday's scene, then Sabu, Mozart and I laid down the rough of today's chapter. After lunch, I transferred the file to the desktop and tidied it up while Mo slept the african into submission.
Tomorrow, early -- and I do mean early -- we're for Skowhegan and back-to-back appointments with the eye doctor. Gotta remember to ask Gerry about bifocal contact lenses, speaking of counterintuitive technology.

other options than bifocal for contacts
However, this only works if your brain can adjust to doing the conversion between the two modes automatically. If it doesn't work for you in two or three weeks then it probably won't work at all. (And will drive you bugnuts.)
