Coldest Day of the Year...

...translates into -23F this morning as I held my breath and turned the key in my car. The girl started up, not without protest, and made her way up the hill to drop my kids off at school.

Coming back down, pillars of smoke lit from behind by the morning sun, reached fingers across the road. Beautiful.


Village cloaked in smoke.

Engines sputter, cough and groan.

Snow squeaks underfoot.
