The best I can do until late May

There is a reason why I live in Southern California.
Nice capture, I'm kind of surprised the shutter didn't freeze up.

Toasty warm by my standards, minus 6C. I was outside in a sweater only. Bit of a change today though; minus 20C.

I can just about guarantee you my blood is too thin for those temps Trevor.

I will die with that temperature, Trevor...your flower is crispy...

One acclimatizes to the cold. And avoids any bare skin exposure.

Here I am ready to walk to my vehicle.

I guess we'll have to trust that it is really you in there.

So far, we have had an extremely unusually mild season. I want to get out to photograph the Christmas lights downtown, but without any snow, I'm not going to get the type of shots I am looking for.

Same problem here.

In my experience, it's usually the user, not the camera, that freezes up. I don't mind the cold, but it is very tough to keep your hands warm with gloves that allow control of the camera.

It's not THAT cold. After all, Trevor, like almost the entire world's population, is using the metric system. On the Fahrenheit scale we <abverb deleted> hang onto here, it's 21 degrees above zero.

Very nice. Had a little snow tonight in central Ohio.
