Dang! Got down to 0.1 degree last night under a cloudless sky and one very bright moon. (Full moon was last Friday. The ice Bringer Moon, threecollie of Northview Dairy reminds us.) Of course, the temperature sensor is mounted on the covered porch post just 8 feet from the house so it probably got below zero a short distance out into the yard. I should move that sensor but it's in a shaded area and without building a cover for it, there's no other spot that's out of the sunlight all day long.
Speaking of sunlight, we did get up to just over 20 degrees for about 10 seconds yesterday afternoon around 3 PM.

Terry and I went down to the Mansfield Fire Hall this morning for a pancake breakfast. The event was sponsored by the local Boy Scout Troop. Pancakes, French toast, ham, bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy, coffee, juice, milk.... Man what a feast!
I try to patronize most anything sponsored by the Scouts or the volunteer fire company. Good people all around.
When you add the weekly Friday evening church sponsored dinners to the various breakfasts, fish and game club dinners, VFW barbecue lunches, etc. you could probably eat out twice a week with various organizations within a short drive of here and eat your fill for $7 to $10 or less in support of a good cause.
