The forecast was entirely too generous: we haven't cracked 0 F (-18 C) today. But the family is great and Westport is twinkling and white and the Festivus festivities have been great fun. More reportage anon. Also: happy belated Life Day to Gamma Fodder, Keith Richards, and my Dad. I'll cheap out this year by simply linking to my awesome but little commented on post from a year ago yesterday.

Edit: And the mercury has been dropping steadily all weekend. Now (9 AM Monday morning), it's a balmy -30 C (-20 F). Lets hope Melba Toast doesn't break down somewhere on the 401.
