Photo Project: January 2, 2009

Even though the weather looks worse in this photo, the air is a whole lot warmer and a lot more pleasant than yesterday.

Also oddly enough, the ice on the water actually looks thicker than yesterday. Why this surprises me, I don't know. Yesterday it was roughly 17.0° F (-8.3° C), not including windchill factor. Today it was about 24.0° F (-4.4° C), with almost no windchill factor. It isn't like the temperature got anywhere above freezing, yet it felt like I could go outside without a coat and not freeze to death.

The metabolism of New England residents are a strange and wondrous thing. Best if we don't think about it, really.

And, yes, this photo was taken an hour earlier than yesterday's photo.


Below is January 2, 2009.

I love looking at yesterday's and then today's. I'm very excited about this project of yours!

It felt very cold out this evening, but I think the high humidity makes it feel colder than it would if it were 30 degrees in New Mexico.

You've chosen an interesting location. I'm looking forward to spring.

What's the song?

In cold dark places,
I dream of spring.

We passed a similar spot except there were also reeds waving in the wind. Serene in a very chilly way.
