It Got So Chilly

Today's weather:  High = 2  Low = -3
Sunny
 
The weather speaks for itself ... a remarkably fast change from summer to winter over the course of a week.  While November was a record warm month, a massive cold wave came in from the north before the weekend, and the chill continues to set in as I type.  Barely.  The inside of my house started off a lot better than last year, but the rapid change in weather caused the window panes to shatter outside, and now it is freezing inside as the buffer has been effectively lost.  Will have to get that fixed soon.  Similarly, the cold weather played havoc with my new scooter.  The fuel line essentially froze, the battery kicked the bucket, and I ended up replacing both parts at the stop in addition to a new carburetor replacement and fixing the spark plugs.
 
After a mere short week of riding that scooter, I've now parked it inside the school underground lot where it is warmer, and it will remain there for hibernation, or until it gets warm again.
