A change in the weather

Our mild winter has given way to actual winter. This morning is the coldest so far this season at minus four celcius. That's measured at our house, which will typically read just a little warmer than temperatures around us because the thermometer is attached to the garage wall of the house (outside, of course). Even though the garage is not heated, it's probably a tad warmer than the air out in the vineyard.

Some dark clouds roll by to our north. The sky is clear now, so we're much colder.

Still, it's cold. And it's predicted to stay that way for at least a few days. We're expecting some snow over the weekend. We have yet to see how much we get (it won't be a lot) and how long it sticks around.

  1. Air temp in the potager is minus seven and a half here in our valley. But it was too dry to make a nice frosty rime to photgraph. Everything looks brown [trees] or green [grass]....

  3. No wonder it's hard to get out of
    bed with the temp, according to Ken,
    at 53F! No way I'd be leaving those
    covers. Wonderful photo.

  7. Boston was in the low 60s F through the early part of this week and then the other day we had our first snow storm... a couple inches fell but thankfully have since been washed away thanks to the rain that followed, but its darn chilly here in Boston right now.
