Noticing the Year: 01/02/08

I first noticed these mushrooms a week ago. The ice is preserving them, and giving them a nice shiny coating.

Right now in Boston:

The temperature is FOUR DEGREES. A high of 18 later today.

I can't get the internet to give me a converter at the moment, but it's well below 0 in c degrees. (-20 or something?)

Edit: Whoops! There we go! The dashboard says it's sixteen below with a high of -8 today! Enjoy your summer, my Australian friends!
