So the weather spirits cooperated with us at least, warmed up to a nice -19 at the changing hour. Nice light dusting of snow, still light this morning, not enough to register, but nice any way.

Dannika and Matthew slept over, so grandma was kept busy as entertainment director.

I took the photos a few minutes into the New Year. Two with flash two without, must get one of those mono pods for the ‘without flash’, there is not always something to rest the camera on.

The weather played havoc with outdoor entertainment in most of the Eastern Cities; it was just perfect here though. No live entertainment but the local government did put on a fire works display, add to that the private fireworks at the same time, plus the traditional firing of guns, it was not a bad display of ringing in the New Year.

Seeing as I was up I watched the Time Square do on TV. Can’t help but think that some good old rock n role would have added some pizzas to the goings on. The modern music just does not seem to do the job. Fats Domino, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis or any number of other 60’s or 70’s would have gotten the crowd into the real sprite.
