Had drizzling very cold rain for several hours yesterday/last night (which thankfully kept a lot of people in the area from setting off much in the way of fireworks, especially the cannonade stuff).
This morning, a lot of stuff that was wet was frozen solid, including the cloth I have hung (tied to) the chainlink fence, so the newer pair of dogs don't bark at everything moving outside the yard. (which someone had cut the ties on a stretch of sometime the night before new year's eve, probalby just to be malicious, since there were also a bunch of beer bottles scattered around that corner of the yard).
The two water buckets were partly frozen over, as was the big doggie "pool", and much of the surface mud that is in shade all day this time of year.
Air temperature at about 9am was only 34F, with the sun shining.
I had left a small heater running on low in the shed with the trike, pointed at the front of the battery/cargo compartment area, and a heating pad on low in the actual battery compartment (which is insulated), and the temperature in the shed was only 45F even so, by about 9am, and the battery compartment was only 65F.
