Winter is having a last little laugh here, with wind chills down to negative ten and a shock of snow this morning. Of course, such a cold day almost demands a fire department call -- everyone gets their wood stoves or fireplaces good and hot, and you can just expect to be out there in it freezing to fight their fire. On the way we discovered that the wind had been blowing so hard that steel street signs and trees alike had been blown down and out into the road.
Hopefully there won't be any repeat fires tonight, when it's going to be in the single digits before the wind chill. We're told it'll be back in the sixties next week. Spring is almost upon us.

Very similar to our numbers. Tonight is very cold, and it is comforting to be bundled up while hearing the wind outside. But it goes up to 45-60 starting tomorrow, and goes below freezing at night only once in the coming week.
It does mean the maple sap run is over, and this year's syrup quantity is now set. Once the budding starts even a little it releases a detectable flavor into the sap.
