Enjoying some sunshine in the Greenbelt. We can hope clouds give way to sunny breaks again today but the big story is the building warmth. The high hits 2° with light winds. Low -3° with fog. Periods of rain tomorrow (might start as a bit of freezing rain). High 7° (norm is -6°).

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny.
Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

Happy New Year. If you were out late celebrating last night and need to quickly wake up, try stepping outside. THAT will wake you up. It’s -15°. W/c is an eye opening -25. Don’t look for a rise in temps either. Obviously there is a risk of frostbite. 🌤️ w/WNW winds gusting >30.
