It was hovering around zero Tuesday,

Wednesday night we are at -19 C so quite a difference.

And Wednesday we woke to a day of frost.

"When without warning

winter falls upon the self,"

"Else winter reigns throughtout the self

                                      and we become

more barren then the nest

that sways within a winter wind"

                  both quotes from         
                      Winterkill
