Diary 12/8/11

Another sunny day and just a bit warmer.  Nights are supposed to be less cold after tonight.  So far, so good on faucets and pipes freezing up.  Where the sun hits it was quite pleasant today.  Where the sun doesn't shine, the ice crystals are extruded out of the ground.  They would be bigger if we had had more rain, but as it is dry, they are building slowly on vegetative armatures.
