Default Frost!

This morning the temperature was below 40, and for the first time I could see frost on the grass in many places. I had on my heaviest gloves, but my fingers still got cold before I got to work. I ordered some heated gloves a couple of weeks ago, but (surprise) they're back-ordered and I may not get them for a while. I guess it's the beginning of the end...

Supposed to be in the low 30's tonight. I'm leaving to see the parents at 6am - 150 miles away. I think I'll need some hot coffee when I get there. Cold weather sucks!
