It was 25 when I looked at the thermostat on the porch at 8am.

Gotta have my Hot Coffee first!

About an inch of frozen water in the critter water bowls when I changed the water.

Temp is now 38 and accuweather says it's 40 at 12:27pm.

Hoping it makes my neighbor the bear sleepy! He lives in the trees between me & my neighbor...looking for a garbage can to hit up.

No cell service here for pics sorry! I enjoy seeing your pics though :)

: When I logged onto the Weather Channel just before I snapped
: these photographs, the site said that the outdoor
: temperature in my area was 37 degrees F. Either scientists

: are dead wrong about the freezing temperature of water, or
: the Weather Channel was underestimating the air temperature
: in my city.

: During late fall, I watch out for the first sign of squirrels
: who forage as they climb the trees in my back yard. When
: they appear, I anticipate a change in the weather. I
: recently spotted a squirrel about a week ago when the
: daytime temperatures were about 10 degrees warmer than
: today.

:

: Usually when there's freezing temperatures outside, there are
: small patches where frost doesn't form on my neighbor's
: roof, but today was an exception. The back yard hot tub was
: half-covered in frost.

:

: The weather forecast calls for a continuous stretch of rain
: over the next week, so I bought fresh produce and other
: grocery items this morning in preparation. Being that it's
: Black Friday and lots of folks are taking advantage of
: online bargains, traffic at my nearby grocery store was
: very light.
