Numb and number



I lifted that headline from meteorologist Paul Douglas, who says we’re off to the coldest start to December since 1996. And we Minnesotans/Wisconsinites are in a foul mood because of it. This week Mr. Douglas' forecast made references both to “arctic sun” and “Siberian sun.” Perhaps a reminder that even though sunlight is scant as we approach winter Solstice, we should show a little appreciation for the heavenly orb. Sunrise at Loveless today: 7:41 a.m.; sunset: 4:27 p.m.

One of my most clever colleagues wrote on Facebook today: This is my last winter in Minnesota.*
