After my year in Australia, I was spoiled. Upon arrival back in Wisconsin last week, reality dealt me a harsh cold and icy smack on the chops.

This is what my house looks like here. We've received 2 meters of snow this year - with an interval thaw, thank the stars - and another 6-8" due tonight... And THIS is all "old" snow, being more than 10 days old.

Observing? Hah. Not bloody likely, when the temperature a few weeks back was...well, did you know that at -44 degrees the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales 'meet' so to speak? An unhappily true fact... I think the speed of light is even a bit slower thru this air.

Cheers from The North: boring sky, non-boring weather.
