Another clear day and night. As I write this, temperatures have dropped to 8F after reaching a high of only 14F. It seems unlikely we’ll reach a record low for this date (7F in 1971), but perhaps we’ll match or break the record low for tomorrow (8F in 1969) before temperatures warm up for the day. Fortunately winds have been calm around the house, so it hasn’t felt too bad.
The view of Orion from the south side of the house inspired me to brave the cold for a couple of minutes to take some pictures.
Taken through a window, I could not see the reflected light until looking at the 30 second exposure.
