Got cold finally. Eighteen degrees (F) when first I looked. I heard a lot of wind overnight, and although it settled down some, there was a bit of a wind chill on my hike up the hill with dog.

Felt kind of invigorating, though. And I was surprised at how many other folks (and dogs) we ran into. Also a few birds, including a Brown Creeper.

Supposed to snow tomorrow. That’ll be a first also this winter.
