Pilot survives 24 hours in subfreezing weather: "After swimming ashore, Strahan battled the frigid conditions -- temperatures ranging between zero and 10 degrees above zero -- and hiked to the trapper's cabin, never able to remove the frozen shoes from his feet. "

Now I feel badly about complaining about this weekend's cold. What a snowstorm! I don't think we ended up with quite as much snow as they had predicted, but the 14 inches we did get is quite enough, thank you. It sure is pretty.

We also put up our Christmas tree yesterday, which only fell over once! Our saving grace: it wasn't decorated at the time.
