[at-l] A cold day in Lake Wobegon

[Jim Bullard]

-26° F in NNY this morning. I photographed the thermometer to prove it. I'm
staying by the fire today. I can tolerate snow (there is about 3' in my yard
now, much more where it is drifted/piled/etc.) but the cold, especially
sub-zero, is too much. I hibernate.
