What a day, redux. It's dark as night right now, snow swirling and
sheeting across the fields. Good day for staying inside.

We had 120 kph gusting last night on our Normandy hilltop, with
prodigious rain (gauge overflowed at 40 mm). I got the house shuttered
and moved all the pots to ground level before it hit, but we have a few
branches down, looks like a smallish unstaked maple blew over, and I
have a tree down over the public path -- up to me to get it out of the
way of course.

Looking through the window makes me want to take a long winter's nap!

Spring is just round a couple of corners. That saying keeps me and my brood
happy in the dark days, sort of!
We will be soon on the shortest day, after that our daylight gets longer. I
know it seems like eternity but it will soon be time for chitting etc.
