Yesterday we woke up to ice on the windows and an outdoor thermometer reading of 25 below zero.
Brrr!
The wind chill has been brutal, topping out at -52º on Wednesday. Area schools are closed, mail delivery is suspended, and even our bank is keeping reduced hours. (That's a first in my memory.)
Tomorrow we should get back on the right side of zero, and weekend temperatures are forecast to reach the 40s. Winter in Wisconsin is a delightful thing. :)

Cold weather is crochet weather. Here's what the Micawber hook has been producing:
 |
| Cable swatches for The Book |
 |
| Mitt samples for upcoming pattern release |
There has also been much drinking of tea and snuggling under blankets. Weather like this makes us realise how rich we are in shelter, food, and comfort.

I've been doing a little jewelry-designing at work, and will be teaching classes on these projects over the next month or two:
I think I've mentioned before that I love my job. :)

Can you believe it's the end of January already, and winter half over? The sun has been creeping ever-so-slightly northwards, and staying up a little later each day. Spring may seem but a distant dream, but it'll be here before we know it.
How's winter treating you?
