As I write this, at 10:20 p.m. (EST, which will be changing to EDT in four or five hours), the temperature out there is 1° (F), and the wind’s still blowing.

This morning, when first awoke, the thermometer showed 6°. About forty-five minutes later, as Jack and I headed out for a hike, it read 5°. It hasn’t risen since.

Coldest, quickest Beech Hill hike of the winter so far for Jack and me.
