Lordy, lordy. It was hovering around -20ºF for most of the last week. That's cold, my friends. That's weather that sends even the most dedicated nicotine-addict back indoors without finishing a whole cigarette.

But today! Today and yesterday! WOOO. Yes indeed. We can call this a really, truly, honest-to-goodness "cold snap" now, because it's been under thirty degrees below zero for the past two days. Oh yes. Even my ginormous mohair scarf cannot beat off this cold for long!

And last night when I left the house at 11:30 at night to pick up some fuel for our furnace (just to be safe 'cause you really don't want your furnace going out at -30ºF) there was a massive aurora arcing across the entire northern horizon. And an almost full moon. Man, I really love this place sometimes.
