1/19/12 – We woke up this morning to find that the thermometer was reading -20 F. This is the coldest temperature we’ve had in awhile. It was quite windy overnight too, so it’s chilly this morning. Right after sunrise, we had an interesting phenomenon. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, but a light snow was falling. When the temperature is this low, the snow can condense right out of the air. It only lasted for an hour or so, but it added to an already beautiful outdoor scene, with the tiny snow flakes glinting like a million diamonds in the air.
