Good evening. 45 degrees with a cold breeze this afternoon. No rain so far this evening but rain showers remain a possibility throughout the evening. A better chance of rain come tomorrow.

Today was the shortest day of the year, being the winter solstice. Slowly at first the days will be getting longer. The mild winter really has given us a break but it still gets dark so early.

Looking forward to the long weekend and camping on Christmas. I wonder if I will see other people up in the woods. I certainly wouldn’t be shocked with the nice warm weather. It will be nice, especially now that I have that nice bright propane lantern.

Traffic is light heading out of city. It was a relatively quiet day today at work. Christmas week means a lot of people are off from work.
