At least it wasn't as cold as it is at the San Fran-Green Bay game.
Packrat: Nice images. I particularly liked the image of the houses cowering under the face of the Organs, which exhibited some nice color variation.
You weren't explicit about the temperatures; just gave us some relatives based on topography. Here in the northern Piedmont, we were forecast to get to 44 degrees today with rain. What we got was dense overcast, sleet early this morning which coated the (generous) remaining snow with a treacherous glaze, and a high that got to 35. The weather forced me to stay indoors and work on furniture repair (which made Kali happy) that I had been putting off. A productive but dismal day.
I believe we only reached 50 F, Scott, but we're slated to hit only the low-to-mid 40s today. We got just the tail end of that Arctic cold air mass that sunk down into the country.
