December 22, 2008 Mid Afternoon

The pond is ready for miniature ice skaters. The coldest temps officially reported overnight were 3 degrees in Etown and Lexington. We beat them with 2.4 degrees at 7:13am. We had a windchill of 17 below at 3:50am.

My brother sent a great quote from Mark Twain-

"Cold! If the thermometer had been an inch longer,we'd all have frozen to death."
