A successful winter

I knew it would be a good winter when the northwest passage froze over in September, three months before it had the past couple of years.  The high temperature in the past three days is 19 F.  It is expected to touch 37 for a couple hours on Monday. Then it heads back down to the temperatures that fill the North (Hudson) River with ice - as in this view from the window of our apartment just above the George Washington Bridge. - gwc
