the only thing it smells like outside now is frigid ice crystals and the ever-present mix of oil and wood smoke! went out today to mail orchid club newsletters (temporary reversion in position since regular editor is on vacation), get some more apples/cider and such (and avoid the temptation of buying fried cider donuts) and my car didn't want to start very quickly, and the heater fan/engine noise was pretty loud! even after leaving my car running for over a half-hour while at different places, it never got 'warm' even though the sun was mostly out
down to -4˚F (-20˚C) right now, supposedly it's going to warm up the next few days
