BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! It is COLD! The low last night/early this morning was 25°! When I arose this morning at 5 AM and began researching news articles for today's blog, the temperature had crept up only to 28°! When I arrived at my office at 7 AM, the temperature had reached 32°. Yikes! Fortunately, it is very dry, so frost is not an issue. It is definitely cold, however, and it appears that this cold will continue for the next several days.
