Sunlight!

After 17 consecutive cloudy days—a new record for Milwaukee—we finally have a bright, sunny morning with a nearly cloudless blue sky, and a more-normal morning low of -7°C, bringing with it the usual winter morning ritual of scraping icy stuff off of the car windows. Yay for sunlight!

We're 43° north, you are closer to 51° north. We are slightly to the south of Bordeaux, France, but we are over a thousand kilometers from the ocean. European climate is very odd to those of us who live in the middle of North America.

Here these days sunrise is about 7:20 and sunset 16:40. I wake up closer to 6:30, but don't leave until nearly 8. It's plenty dark by the time I leave work at 17:30.
