(Still) Cold

It was twenty-seven below zero here by the river at 7:30 this morning. The sun is shining, though, & it’s now up to four degrees above. This is one of the longer cold snaps I can recall. It regularly gets this cold in January, but we don’t often go for several days without a spike up into the balmy thirties. It’s especially hard on our younger Jack Russell, who has a whole lot of energy & under normal circumstances gets at least one & sometimes two good walks a day. The rest of us — the other (elderly) JRT, the Lab, Carole & me — find it easier to hole up indoors.
