Last night it was about -12°C. We took the dogs for a walk down by the harbor and watched the lunar eclipse from shortly after onset to totality. Unfortunately my camera malfunctioned, but I expect that there are at least 37,000,000 photos of it without mine. On the way home we saw fireworks on the hillside in celebration of the solstice. Despite the forecast, the sky was full of stars, not snowflakes.

Wet and windy up here in Reykjavík this morning but now I see it's trying to snow, albeit half-heartedly, so maybe we'll be having a white one after all!

Gleðileg jól, everybody.

Which being interpreted meaneth a very "Gladly Yule".

"Over there" where I am, the airport thermometer, a mile from me, reads 8°F (-13.3°C), mine says 3° (-16.1°C). It's another in a long series of cloudless days, not much snow this season so far. Forecast for Sunday, with informative scientific precision, is "a chance of snow."

Where would that place me? Stockholm, Sweden.

?? (at the same time testing one of my other users as trying to sort them (the user IDs) out)).

You expect me to read allt that?

Waether report: The snow chaos from the south coming our way by evening. Temperature has risen to -4.9C. But windy.

A slight show here. Coldish, wettish, greyish. Difficult driving conditions up on the heath yesterday.

Not so much. Lots of cold and wind. All day yesterday we had a high-density of airborne white particles, but when things settled down there wasn't much to show for it. Off to my daughter's for turkey and beer.

Thank you, Jacob. We had a wonderful gathering and a lot of laughs.

Several weeks of rain and wind down here at sea level, cold last night. Up the hill at my daughter's house, 6 miles away and 1800 ft. up, gobs and gobs of snow. So she says. I'll find out tomorrow.

Thanks, Steve, the same to you and everyone else.

Has either of you lit the Yule log?

Nope. Ours is geothermal and therefore doesn't burn very well :-)
