In Auburn, Mass., basketball players take advantage of a balmy 66 degrees on January 7. Down to bare skin in the dead of winter? Where's the freezing temperatures? Where's the snow? Where's the suffering? Die-hard New Englanders don't know what to think. Washington Post writer Joel Achenbach expressed the thoughts of many who find the warm winter weather both unnatural and ominous. With British scientists saying that 2007 is likely to be the warmest year on record, breaking the record set in 2006, he wrote: "Never has good weather felt so bad. Never have flowers inspired so much fear. Never has the warm caress of a sunbeam seemed so ominous. The weather is sublime, it's glorious, it's the end of the world." On a more authoritative note, Eric Chivian, M.D., director of the Center for Health and the Global Enrironment, Harvard Medical School, wrote (in a letter to The New York times, January 8) that unless we significantly reduce our current levels of burning fossil fuels, "our world will experience profound changes, many of them irreversible, in its physical, chemical, and biological composition."

We had some heavy fog last night with the freezing temperatures so we woke up to things having turned white with frost.
Rain, then freezing temperatures. A winter wonderland. Oh, and that's a kiosk where you can buy bread. And I really had to force myself to go against the Rule of Thirds. :o)

Southern California's recent sub freezing temperatures have wreaked havoc on the state's citrus crops -- the damages could reach a billion dollars. And prices at the grocery store have nearly tripled already.
The cold snap also played havoc with ornamental plants and flowers as well.
These shots are of a huge tropical "Elephant Ear" or Colocasia in my front yard. I'm optimistic it will come back.
Sadly, many citrus growers aren't as fortunate.
You can't let sub-freezing temperatures, snow, and curious deer keep you from a good game of croquet, and snowballs just add to the action!

Protesters find alternative ways of fighting the freezing temperatures.
Naturally formed ice that occurs in Tennessee at below freezing temperatures,i call them ice flowers!The formation of frost flowers, also known as "ice flowers," is apparently dependent on a freezing weather condition occurring when the ground is not already frozen. The sap in the stem of the plants will expand (water expands when frozen), causing long, thin cracks to form along the length of the stem. Water is then drawn through these cracks via capillary action and freezes upon contact with the air. As more water is drawn through the cracks it pushes the thin ice layers further from the stem, causing a thin "petal" to form. In the case of woody plants and (living or dead) tree branches the freezing water is squeezed through the pores of the plant forming long thin strings of ice that look uncannily like hair i.e. "frost beard".
The petals of frost flowers are very delicate and will break when touched. They usually melt or sublimate when exposed to sunlight and are usually visible in the early morning or in shaded areas.

Despite the near-freezing temperatures, lashing wind, and torrential rain, this tough little rosebush hasn't gotten the message that it's November.
Shhhhh! Nobody tell it, okay?
Dickinson Square, Moyamensing & Tasker, Philadelphia, PA, Nov. 14 2008.
*See the entire plant below. Now four years old. I have to bring it indoors each winter because it is not tolerant to the freezing temperatures in Illinois. It drops all its leaves, then I cut it back hard, sit it in a west facing window for the winter and water it regularly.
This plant was purchased at our local hardware store's garden center in 2018 during the fall. I left it outside until it was nearly time to get our first frost, then brought it indoors. The temperature and light conditions indoors made it go into "shock," dropping all of its leaves. Since I knew it was a perennial, I didn't give up on it and cut the stems back quite a bit. It sat near a west facing window on our kitchen table all fall, winter, and into the late spring. Over that time period the leaves, slowly sprouted out on the stems again, although they were smaller than before. When it finally got warm enough in late May 2019, I moved it to our front porch. I watered and fertilized it all summer long and just when it started to get cool again, I noticed a few flower spikes popping up! Although nothing like the massive amounts of flowers it had the first year, it made all of my efforts to care for it worthwhile!

Despite freezing temperatures and 30 mile per hours winds; we few, we happy few, we band of brothers (and sisters), have a MARVELOUS ride!
This is what you get when you combine freezing temperatures, rotation, and slush from the streets--a slush star.
The snow and freezing temperatures didn't prevent this event, and certainly didn't prevent me from going out to take this pictures.
Thanks to all the agencies and people involved in making this event happen!

I enjoyed watching the dynamics of water, rock and freezing temperatures brought the concepts of solid, liquid, and a sort of temporary solidity subject to constant change. I'd always marvelled how liquid water could sculpt a rock, but now I've seen another one of the tools nature uses for sculpture and it makes more sense.

To get these images, I painted with watercolours outside in freezing temperatures, and let nature do the work!

Flew a Horsa glider into the LZ on the second day of Operation Market Garden. Was later captured and became part of The Long March when prisoners were marched over 87 miles in 17 days in freezing temperatures before being freed by the Russians.
I went up to the Ashdown Forest early this morning before the frost and ice melted. This was a puddle yesterday and the overnight freezing temperatures had created some interesting ice patterns.

Nothing beats the warming power of love in New York’s freezing temperature. The SoHo district, known as the city’s public runway, is like a big fashion show that gives everyone the potential of being a trend setter in the metropolis Big Apple. SoHo is full of beautiful and creative people who when combined, ensemble a fashionable look x2. When a fashion couple is born, staying warm and chic at the same time in 40 degrees temperature doesn’t seem like a difficult job anymore. Nevertheless, for everyone out there, ditch those knee length down jackets, take off those Ugg’s, because here is the most inspiring look book you will need to stay warm and stylish this winter.
It started snowing after lunch, big fluffy snowflakes, and a very pleasant above freezing temperature.
A few minutes later the weather was truly lousy - freezing temperatures with strong wind, rain, hail and snow - nice!

There had been a bit of snow and freezing temperatures overnight -- very rare for the Pacific Northwest. Coming out of my neighborhood, all the streets were just wet with no ice. But I hit a slick patch that was in the shade of trees coming around a turn. My helmet did its job. No headache, but those abrasions (there's one on my knee as well) will be sore pretty soon. And based on past experience, I'll be stiff tomorrow.
