And in the end

...rain. Some sleet, but mostly rain. Temps stayed in the mid-30s overnight, so everything stayed liquid and the morning drive proved a non-issue.

Now the winds are picking up. Temps are going to drop, with possible single digits tonight and wind chills well below zero. Hope I get home before the roads get icy.

Holiday lunch at the day job today. Friday is our department potluck--I'm making Sweet and Savory Bread Pudding, but with some changes. No brandy--white wine and a tbsp or 2 of rum. Fewer eggs, and half and half instead of cream. And I couldn't find any challah, so I went with buttercrust white bread. So it won't be as rich and heavy, but that may not be such a bad thing.

Mouse Watch '09 continues. Nothing in the traps today.

Gaby still seems OK. Fingers remain crossed.

Was there a wind chill? 6F can actually feel OK, if it's mid-January and you've acclimated and you don't have a 50 mph wind blowing in your face and a resulting wind chill of eleventy-seven bazillion below zero.
