Sunrise - January 20

Nothing to report.  Still very cold.  Took till noon for the temps to raise above zero.  It's snowing tonight.  Started a fire in the fireplace and it petered out soon after it burned the paper I'd used to get it started.  However, when I came back past it around thirty minutes later it was merrily burning away and hot enough to start the oak log I'd put atop some other hardwood scraps.  Figured that the winds had whipped the embers back into flame.  Usually I work on a crossword to put me to sleep.   Can't right now.   I turn on the electric blanket an hour before bedtime and when I crawl between the sheets, I fall asleep almost immediately.  Pretty typical midwinter day.
