We have had extremely cold, windy weather since the start of the new year. Temperatures with wind chill have generally stayed well below freezing. The sun has put in only rare and fleeting appearances.


What better time to mine our archives and look back on 2025? It is encouraging to see how quickly the seasons change in only four months!
