Frost and short days

It is still warm here --- but the forecast is calling for more seasonable temperatures (-16C) by the end of the week.  Yikes, that's what I wanted, right?   Still not much snow, but its fairly warm and damp, resulting in the most beautiful frost covered trees for the last two days...

We've also seen some lovely sunrises and sunsets over the past few weeks -- the days are markedly shorter.   You really need to make an effort to get out early enough in the day to take in your vitamin D!  And still another 6 weeks of days getting shorter.
