I'd have become a meteorologist if not for all the nasty math involved

Today at 9.45 am the sun was close enough to show a distinct shadow set with a broad rosy demarcation line and everything (shadow here is broader than in this pic, and won't set any farther than the one in this picture has, but it *does* have a gibbous moon in the shadow part of it)
It is also bright enough for the birds that haven't migrated to start singing again. Here's hoping for clear skies on sunday :)

It is also also quite windy. Not enough to rip buildings apart around here, but with the temperature drop to -8 Celsius, it does make it unpleasant to be outside for any amount of time.
