Weather service says 0F in AA, the weatherunderground station in town says -11F, we've warmed up to a balmy -9F. The pond is mostly skinned over with ice, but there is water running down the rill. Most of the rocks that don't actually have water running over them are snow-covered. There's ice on the slower running side of the rill, and the water is flowing under it. There are a few birds poking at the running water. Also? Fluffed out blue jays are really quite big.
There is also a disturbing amount of cold air coming in around the french doors, mostly underneath. Ick. Not looking forward to replacing *that* weatherstripping -- I think I'll just use a doorsweep for the winter, and actually replace the weatherstripping later in the year when it's warm enough to take the door off. (I should also put something along the center, but I'm thinking I'll just use a sweep there as well. Non-traditional application, but it should work.)
I went to Confusion last weekend. It's a nice little con. I actually went to programming! (I also got minioned by fluffCthulhu, which is good.) A new hotel which wasn't bad other than traffic flow at the elevators and really thin walls. New guy running reg did it 'his way'. *that* could have been much better. I discovered that Better Made makes Salt and Black Pepper potato chips. I am *not* going to look for them at my local store -- I'd probably eat the entire bag in a day. om nom nom.
