Wow. Two days ago it was 65F. Today it's almost 25 degrees below
freezing!

I hadn't even got my cold weather gear out. It got so cold so fast, I
keep turning up the thermostat and the digital thermometer keeps
dropping. I think a very good time to do some baking.

Yesterday afternoon it was 15C here. We went to the Remembrance Day
ceremony and I was aching to get away from there so I could enjoy the
rest of the day. My son wanted me to meet him at the range. I wanted to
go out of the motorcycle, thinking it might be the last day. Then I
remembered my transport permit expires on the weekend and the club
screwed up and forgot to renew it,so it would be the last nice day I
could shoot for a while. I went to the range.

It was +3 C this morning and dropped down to 2 by afternoon. It is
going below freezing tonight. ;-(

I left my CT roots in the trail of fire I left behind me when I bailed
out ten years ago. I hated the cold my entire 34 years in CT too.

I worked outside for28 years. I don't know how I ever managed, November
was exceptionally hard to deal with. The cold damp days of November were
the worst and the hardest to deal with. It wasn't so bad in January and
February when it is much colder, but then it tends to be brighter and
you are more used to it... and Spring is closer.

I envy people that get to work outside--maybe 10 days a year. The other
355 days I like climate control.

50s-60s is normal here this time of year. We need to deport the "polar
vortex" back to Canada.

Yep. I think I need to put the heat up a bit. And I have to go outside.
Have to go fuel up a car, do a little shopping and it's trash day. Brrr...

Days off depend on how many recognize them and take them off anyway.
NYC has lots of days off on Jewish holidays. San Francisco recognizes
Chinese NY. No Ski Week here. Parents are too busy working.
