Our backyard thermometer mounted near a patio door on the northern exposure of our home flirts with afternoon highs in the mid to upper thirties.
At Jordan Lake timid westerlies barely ruffle surface water. Overnight lows in the teens form first ice near secluded shorelines. Ring-billed Gulls appear to ignore the bone-chilling effects of the gelid water and huddle in silent flotillas wherever placid, wind-sheltered shallows are available. Single-digit lows and snowfall are in the forecast.
