That is what the wind is today. A snow shower turned the day as gloomy and bleak as this photo suggests, visibility dropped to around 150 meters. And yet I am safe, inside, now I see blue sky, watery sun.

Cold

Today is comparatively balmy, about -4C, with a south wind. High and midlevel clouds will move in this afternoon, presaging the next assault of snow tomorrow (currently predicted to be around 15C) and brutal, bitter cold Monday and Tuesday. We will take advantage of and appreciate the mild weather today.
Brutal, beautiful cold

Dawn in the heart of winter is a brutal, beautiful time. The temperature by the car thermometer was -24C. This may be nothing by some standards yet by banana belt Ontario standards, it is awful. Life is simply trying to endure and to get through.
Several sights about this dawn caught my eye. The way the ditch angles through the frame made an interesting almost asymmetrical contribution. The sun blushes the edge of the lower level clouds. there in the middle left of the frame, cirrus clouds are light, feathery, almost invisible. This photo and the others I took were well worth the cold stinging my bare fingers.
