Month: January 2003

Yesterday we set records with the temperature, it was 14oC here and sunny. Today, the highest it got was 10oC and it is freezing now with a strong north wind finding all the cracks in this house!!! We have builders here, they took the roof off the garage today and put a new one on.…
