Brrrr....It's officially cold!

It was below zero today and now the temperatures are dropping! These are the coldest temperatures in Des Moines in the last decade. It is frigid. Even the metro schools are closed tomorrow.

This bird feeder (at work) had been occupied much of the day by house finches and cardinals, but when I brought my camera, they got shy. The icicles are absolutely gorgeous. They were formed on a warmer day earlier in the week but will not be melting anytime soon.

Fortunately I have a warm coat and got new mittens and a scarf for Christmas so I am well protected and cozy.
