Cold Outside

Yesterday, I woke up and checked the temperature.  Here's what I saw:

On March 5th.

This is getting old.  Really old.  I'm tired of the oppressive weather.  So much of what I do for enjoyment has to have the garage door up for ventilation.  That means the inside temperature is very soon the same as outside.  And that's not much fun.  

Last year at this time, my older girl and I were out in the shop making her first knife.  Now, the temperatures are just too cold for that.  

Ah, well, at least the cold temperatures are good for the receding permafrost.  There's some silver lining, I guess.
