Officially Cold

I guess you could consider this to be officially cold-not as cold as it has been lately and it'll probably get even colder before the winter is over-but pretty cold nonetheless. When it gets below the American zero it begins to be uncomfortable to take a morning piss off the back porch. The wood-pile is being consumed at a bit of an alarming rate also. Global Warming seems to be on hold for January in Canada. The dogs don't even want to stay outside, and the cat hasn't been out of the house since before Christmas. I don't know how a small bird like a chickadee can make a living here all winter. Richard calls this "snot-freezing weather".
