Good Morning--It's just a little past half past eight in the morning, here in the northeastern USA, and I've overslept! Eeeek! Somebody was so tired last night, she plumb forgot to wind her little ol' alarm clock. Stupid cow. Thank goodness I don't have to start work 'till ten a.m. these days.
So here I sit in my living room, admiring the prettiness outside, and dreading going out into the cold. Right now, as I speak, the outside temperature is 0 degreees F, that's minus 18 C, to you on the other side of the pond---brrrrr! But it's nice to look at from a fairly warm living room--I had to turn up the heat to 70 F---had it set on 68 F, and it was 65 in here this morning...I hate cold bathrooms in the morning, so I turned the heat up for a bit. Outside the trees lining the street are all glistening with clear coats of ice on every single branch, trunk, etc...and what isn't glistening with a clear coat of ice, is topped off with a rime of frost--so very photogenic out there this morning--if literally painfully cold--and still slippery to walk about in.
Here's a winter sunrise photo, that was taken not too far from here--about a half hour to 45 minute drive east, just across the state line, in Vermont. A typical eastern NY/western New England sunrise:
