A dreary afternoon at Eastoke Corner

The weather this month has been by turn, cold and frosty, mild and damp, windy and squally. The US had a ferociously cold snap in Christmas Week, causing President Diden to caution "This isn't like the Snow Days we all enjoyed as kids, this is life threatening": in the event 61 died, with the worst area being Buffalo, NY.
