Christmas and cold days

Our Christmas was a fairly quiet affair. We opened our gifts in the morning and then went to church. Following church we spent the afternoon with friends before returning home.



We got some snow overnight between Sunday and Monday. There was enough to require expending substantial effort clearing out the driveway. A bit more snow fell through Monday but the skies cleared up and the temperatures dropped on Tuesday and continued cold through today.

This set was taken during a bike ride around the airport loop. The roads were mostly icy but there were spots of loose snow. Loose snow is like cycling through sand. The wheels don't grab well and they tend to want to slide sideways. Winter cycling is great for improving bike handling and balance.



This next set is from today. It was taken from South Harbor and facing east.
