After several days of freezing one's cockles off, it warmed up to about 52 today. Czarny spent more time outside than in, avoiding the Christmas dinner guests. It will be a hard freeze again tonight, then we'll quickly get back to normal, 60s/70s daytime and upper 30s/lower 40s at night.

We'll wait until Wed or Thurs to restart the system, giving it plenty of time to thaw.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day.
