continues cold

27F at sunrise....chilly morning walk.....had to use the booster to start the Jeep and go for groceries....hadn't started it since Sunday....got a package from Caroline, so now I have two presents to open Christmas morning....no tree to put them under, but what the heck. Reading the local paper, it looks like it's mandatory to go hog wild with Christmas morning breakfast...some strange recipes provided....I might just do ham and eggs and grits? The scalloped potatoes came out fine, lots left....a couple more meals anyway......whatever storm is coming from the West is going to bring rain here Friday they are saying, won't be cold enough for snow under the latest computer models.....
