This evening. Clear skies, 20's - high winds. About an hour.
We're at about 15°F now - set to go down to about 5° or so. This is the coldest weather we've had in 20 years. Winter of '93-'94 we were at 0°F.
I recall the winter of 1970-71 when I was still in the Navy. We were below 0°F at NNMC Bethesda one night when I had the Chief-of-the-Day Watch. We marched out for Evening Colors and Old Glory was wrapped frozen around the flagpole. We had the Fire Department out to help but could not get the Flag down that night.
America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!
O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
