The bottom is about to drop out on the temperatures around here, starting tomorrow night. We'll be in -0F temps by Tuesday. brrrr!! I've read that the Great Lakes need to freeze over as widely as they can in the winter - it's somehow beneficial to shorelines and that particular ecosystem, and too many years of warmer winters can spell trouble. So, this is all right by me.
I'm actually okay with cold temps as long as it's not a blizzard blowing, threatening to cut out the power. Then we might have a problem.
The last two days have been well above freezing, with lots of sunshine. Very pleasant to run around in and get errands done, as I'm thinking I'll be staying in during the worst of it. Good time to do some baking - I brought home everything needed to make a big batch of granola, and then pumpkin bread.
