It's 2F right now, even though the forecast said tonight's low would be 4F. I'll bet it gets below zero again.
Car wouldn't start this morning after being parked for 15 hours in the subzero chill. First time that has happened to me since about 1972. Started easily enough with a jump this afternoon, drove it to town. Came back, did chores, had supper, started again with no problem and went to Audubon meeting. Started once more after meeting and drove home, no problem. Incredibly, I suspect the problem was that I left the GPS turned on and plugged into the power outlet. That drain, small as it was, combined with the intense cold this morning, kept the battery from turning the engine over. We'll see tomorrow morning.
It was cold enough today that when I poured well water from a bucket (probably about 50F temperature) a dense cloud of "steam" filled the air around it. There's fog forming tonight where light winds play across snow-covered fields.
Time to go to bed where it is warm.
