9º this morning!!!!!! (and windy)
we got about an inch of snow, which all fell before it got really cold. Paths and roads were warm enuf at that point to stay clear.

We just got a dusting of snow. Now it's just really cold. It's up to 23 now ( but feels like 10). At least the sun is shining! Maybe that will help me get out of this bad mood I woke up in.

My boss texted me early this morning. I thought she was going to say no school!
Nope. Just asking a question.
My hands weren't working real great that early. . so I could barley text back.
Then when I went get out of bed phone still in hand. . it had gone to lock screen but backlight was on. I dialed 911.
Finally got that taken care of, while still ha asleep trying to give my name address and all. . .no emergency sorry people. .
Managed to get around to morning chores. Everything frozen shut. Car door frozen shut. .
Thought about calling 911 again.

I did some sperimenting building a cold frame for one of my deck planters... by golly it worked it's 35°F outside and inside the cold frame it's 80°F. I'm really impressed how well it seems to work.

I made a frame for the lid and used some 8 mill clear plastic to cover it.


A little fun with Fibonacci and drawing out the spiral cam.


The cam allows you to just crack the lid or about 1/2 way open or anywhere in between.


And allows you to close the lid when rotated to the flat spot.


Sitting on the deck planter.


And lastly the thermometer with humidity dial so I can tell whats going on inside without sticking my head in the measure them.


Sorry about all the photos...
