Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere have made it through the dark part of the year. :) According to Weather Underground today the daylight will last 8hrs, 55m and tomorrow it will be 3 seconds longer. Even three seconds makes me feel so much better, psychologically.
Eor bought us red metal sleds - the flying saucer sort - a couple of weeks ago. We waxed them up last night, and put chains on the van, so we would be able to drive in this snow storm, and today we went sledding at the Eastern Prom! :) After the first run our glasses were icing up so it was difficult to see, but we did at least seven more, it was so much fun! Until I plowed a path through the bushes, when we called a halt. Don't worry, it didn't hurt a bit, I went head-first. ;)
