Expedition
Too easy not to go for: grounds of a still-on-holiday school, very close to where the bus drops me during my commute home. No problem finding the spot, though I only had my cell phone for pics, and no thermometer. I was there from about 4:50 to 5:15.
In lieu of thermometer, I offer (1) a self-portrait with ice in mustache and (2) the temperature record of weather station MC5506 at (42.97, -85.72) which shows -10.5 degrees C at 5 pm.
House on Breton Rd. visible from #6 bus stop, with icicles.
Houseman Field fieldhouse from the hashpoint. Yes, that's snow in the air.
Me, at the hashpoint. Warm, really.
Thermometer: -4 degrees C.
Hashpoint marker. The original photo is almost pure white; this has been "contrast enhanced" with the Image/J program.
Mailbox, driveway, and front walk as I arrived home. The footprints from my initial departure are visible outside the front door.
