Another cold day here. We went to St. J. this morning and it was a tad colder there than it was here, by about a degree or so. We had 10 above, but it didn't get very warm all day. Now, at 5:15 p.m., I see 6.7F on my weather station. It's cold and calm.
    People were still going about their business in spite of the cold. There weren't a lot of people at the mall when I was there this morning, but it was only 9 a.m., so I expect lots of folks waited for the weather to warm up a little. The sun was out and that was very nice for a change.
     Today was the shortest day of the year, but it didn't seem so because the sun was so bright. Most days have been cloudy, so darkness has come earlier. The good news is that from now on our days will be getting a little longer!
     We felt sorry for the guys working on Talbot's garage this morning. They looked really cold. I bet the guys working on the construction out by Goodrich's Sugar Farm will be glad that project is wrapping up for the season. Here's the last report:
