This has been a cold day. The thermometers here haven't been out of the low teens all day and presently I'm seeing 8.5 degrees above zero. It will almost certainly go below zero tonight. To make us even colder, there's been a pretty steady wind most of the day. It seems to have quieted down now, but during the daylight hours it was very blustery. We got another 3.5 inches of new snow last night and that was being blown about all day. I think we've had another inch or two since I measured at nine this morning.
     Just before noon, when the wind was howling at top velocity, Fred was out doing his walk up Jamie and Marie's driveway. He used to run up ten times, now he walks it ten times. It's still a very good workout, but having lost so much weight, and with the effect the chemo has had on him, it wasn't too difficult to convince him to take it a little easier. He came in covered with snow and I took this picture. He was very cold, and it took a while to get warmed up.
     The whole week is going to be near zero during the daytime and below zero at night, and unfortunately, New Year's Eve isn't going to be any warmer. It will be a cold night to be dashing between venues at various First Night Celebrations.
