Cold, but bright. 21 degrees, wind at 25mph so the windchill is -3. Not going out. But we got little snow, just a covering, as it all blew off the Island. WNYwillieB, no boating today!

A group of young NYC friends are using our Vt house for a few days and they all bravely went up to ski this morning, but thought it was way too cold and windy at Stratton, so they headed back to find that the pipes in our back laundry room were frozen. But it is a simple fix. I had them turn on the dryer which heats up the pipe that freezes. We drain that room when we aren't up there. I am glad they are there while it is so cold. It is 14 degrees now up there now with the wind only at 4mph. It is about 5 at Stratton with windchill at -13. Not good skiing weather.

My greenhouse is 78 degrees now. Picture taken yesterday with the Jades in bloom. I still have one for Victor.

Happy New Year all. Patti
