Yes it was a baby. It didn't come out thought until 8am this morning. Very tardy but healthy mum and bub.

My mountaintop site routinely experiences low temperatures (-10 to -20 average winter) but the RH is also very low, so the cold is quite bearable, so long as one is properly dressed for it.
I'm not quite that anal.
I just have an electronic thermometer in the observatory. It gets some heat from the computers so probably isn't perfect. Just an estimate.
As for the car themometer. I have know idea how accurate they are. I'm not getting out of the car to check.
