The weather is getting downright nippy here in the mountains. I reported a few weeks ago that we'd already had a couple of snowstorms. Then, for about ten days, the daytime weather warmed up a bit, though it still dipped to freezing at night.

Now, however, it seems that winter is getting more and more entrenched. Both nights and days are cold, and most of the tree leaves are gone. (It doesn't help that after the time changed, it is not just cold, but also quite dark when the workday is done.)

I hope that you aren't too discomforted in your neck of the woods and that you are looking forward to the quickly coming holiday season.
