33 degrees and a few snowflakes melting as they hit the ground. Preview of more to come, but I'll take some warm October days if available.

I've been reading a bunch of Scandanavian detective novels. The one I'm reading now is by Asa Larsson and takes place in Kurravaara, Sweden. I looked it up on the map: it must be cold, snowy and dark there, even now.
