Cloudy and windier

01/03/12, 2 pm, looking north

Colder, cloudy, windy and, did I mention colder? These monstrous slabs of windblown and angular cumulus clouds were visible in the north. Very windy today, the wreath was blown off the door, and it was so cold the bird bath is solid ice.


The frigid wind came from the northwest straight under the doorway and we had gusts of almost 40 mph. Our high temperature on January 3rd was 35 degrees F with a low of 23. I'll just remind you that we are Southerners and this first day of winter weather is a shock to out genteel and temperate lives.
