One of the few religious traditions during this particular portion of the year

Yes! Tomorrow the sun goes north. But it will get colder for another 3
weeks. Small mercy.

Three weeks?? You must mean 3 months and counting??

Point taken, Don.
We only get COLDER for another 3 weeks; we bottom out in mid-January.
But we will be TOO cold for another 3 months. At least I catch a break
this year as we will spend January on the coast a little north of Tampa Bay.
The rental house comes with a "flats boat". Something new for me.
Happy Holidays!

We usually have a very cold period in January also.( minus 15 or so C)
February usually produces more snow.
Best wishes for the holidays to you.

Thermal inertia. Then the slow climb-out back to decent temps. Happens
again in summer as temps peak in July after June 21.

And best to you and all reading this.
After some of the recent posts, we need a little peace on earth or at
least in rec.boats.

Thank you, Chuck, and a Yippy Yule to you! Went to two Yule celebrations this
weekend, drank lots of wassail, lit a candle at sunset to carry the light
through the Longest Night, but fell asleep at 4 am.
