How's the weather?

It is now (at 2 PM) 10°C colder than it was at midnight last night (ie now 25°C or 77°F and at midnight it was 35°C or 95°F)!

THAT is a cool change. Very nice.

And rain! Helps put out the bushfires.

I'm not even sure what an average winter is where I live. I've seen both really mild winters and downright unbearable ones with daytime highs around five degrees fahrenheit lasting for weeks.
In fact, this winter was unusually mild until just a week ago when the blizzard developed. We went from highs in the mid seventies to a highs of ten degrees fahrenheit. One night the low was below zero fahrenheit. So, it got very cold very fast. That kind of extreme temperature shift is unusual.

Early this week the temps in Laramie are going to go straight to hell (and by hell I mean the 9th level of hell as described by Dante - think about it for a second)
