It's 41F this dark and dreary morning. The snow piles don't look much smaller, but they are sure to be water-logged after a night's rain. A fog fills the darkness.

The sun has officially risen at 8:02, but you couldn't tell by looking. I will be forced out into that drowned and frozen world, but first, the thread must go on!
