It's cold (updated)

The weather forecast has us not reaching the freezing point for the next week. Or maybe it is only for the next five days. It will be interesting to see how much of the ponds, lakes, and rivers freeze. However, unlike the southern part of the state, we are without snow. Bloomington got about ten inches.

There are lots of Christmas decorations all around town. I especially liked this snowman, complete with deer hunter cap, camo vest, and a gun. All it is missing is a Duck Dynasty beard.

The city street crews were out earlier this week picking up the last of the leaves. They did a good job.

This evening features the annual Christmas parade. Maybe I can get some pictures for a Monday post.

Update: Visit Rensselaer beat me to the parade pictures. See here.
