Another month has come and gone. At least I've made the proper magical incantation as the first words spoken (and written). They say it brings good luck. I think we need all the luck we can muster.
December is here and with it we've finally had an official first freeze at the Sunport. In a few hours I'll be back up and out in the Cottonwood Gallery for Nature's Notebook observations. I've got miller mitts, phone touch-sensitive gloves, scarf, and the rest of the kit ready to ward off the chill.
In Wisconsin, my cousin spent yesterday digging out from 10" of new snow. A friend in Oshkosh sends photos of a white world. Chicago's airports are a mess. New Mexico? Maybe some serious snow in the highlands, but for now, the famous "snow hole" appears to be keeping the precipitation away.
They say it's a fast moving storm and it'll be gone by the time I'm out in the field. Let's hope that the current administration is "a fast moving storm" and gone by next November.
