Layers

When the going gets rough, go for a filter, I reckon. This is actually one of those mini packs of cards that you get in a Christmas bob bon with the addition of "glowing edges".

I didn't step outside at all today. When I emerged from the covers this morning, the temperature here at the top of the ridge (according to the local weather observatory) was - 0.4 degrees ("apparent temperature" - 9 degrees) buuut by midday it had soared all the way up to 1.4 degrees ("apparent temperature" - 6 degrees). All the while the icy wind roared along at 28-35 kph with gusts to 70 kph. No thank you.
