Winter came, just popping in to remind me that he is on his way.
No resting on your laurels, miss c.
Winter is still a gentle voice in the distance, but he is on the road. 
But so beautiful, this cold. I guess the spiders are gone. Their webs are frozen solid.
I shot the Daily View early. So you could see what I felt. Are your fingers feeling that cold?
And then I encountered an interesting problem. Because the cover of the old temperature gauge is broken, the inside was all iced up and misty. I wonder if we will even be able to see it when it gets really cold. This will be interesting. However the maxi/mini tells it all. A low of 18 I guess. Minus 7C. Not too cold yet.
It is 24 (-4C), out there, as I write. That is still within the bounds of live-able cold. And the sky is bright so we will have a good day.
I wrote an adequate number of words yesterday, but today, after visiting the Old Codger, I expect to get in a good afternoons writing.
You all have a lovely day. Please feel free to steal or share any of these images. I don’t mind sharing. My favourite for my pinterest page today is the one with the treehouse in the background.
Rug up warm..

If you can pop the cover off that thermometer, I bet you could pop in a desiccant packet assuming you have one left over from a previous purchase of an item that had one in the packaging. If you don’t, you could try wedging some rice grains in there as a make-shift desiccant. Both will absorb moisture and prevent that fogging up. In theory at least.
what a stunning idea thank you, i can just poke the package through the big hole that is in the cover.. c
You might want to cover that hole with a piece of tape too. I don’t know if a desiccant will work, but it seems like it should.
What a glorious hoary daily picture! Don’t know my constitution would stand the feeling any more 🙂 ! It’s 11am here Down Under and I’m taking the day off: five of our free-to-air stations are beginning your Election countdown and nothing would keep me from ‘praying my guy in’ . . . the US may be 50:50, according to all the many graphs I have seen, the rest of the world is not . .
Jack Frost has come a visiting! The early morning visit!

he snuck in.. ! c
Beautiful? Yes! But way to cold for my blood! We have been having temps into the low thirties recently, but now we are warming up again. This Sunday promises a daytime high of 79. Not too shabby, I say. ~ Lynda
Oh 79 sounds divine right about now! c
Oh wow, this is beautiful. I can hear the frost crunching beneath the shoes. Still, I’m happier looking at it than being in it 🙂
I was shivering as I read this. Still haven’t quite worked out how to read the temp gauge on the left as I really like the old one on the right, but I can see I’m going to have to transfer my allegiance (sigh). What a striking contrast your winter brings. The daily view has really been going through some rapid changes.
We had that hoar frost on Monday morning, and I had a lovely drive to work (school) on the country roads between the two small towns. I wrote a haiku about it, that you can see on my blog, but didn’t take pictures, since I was driving. I am about 50 miles south of Chicago. What direction from Chi-town are you?
We are about 100 miles south, you can’t be too far away, how wonderful. c
I like the sunrise, with the tractor and the dogs. But it looks so ccccccold.
YIKES! Frost and minus numbers? It’s quite scary for sure. I bet you are counting the minutes until you leave for summer!
burrrrrr!!! Time to start eating and drinking some hearty things!
AMEN! c
When I run this “late” I don’t always comment, Celi, but I had to…the photos of the sky are just beautiful. I cannot even imagine the cold, but it is breathtaking…that’s probably a literal comment! 🙂 Lovely, lovely!
