  3. Merry Christmas to you both, as well. Looks like it is warming up a bit for you. Might get close to freezing over the weekend.

    1. Merry Christmas to you, Graham! Yes, we may creep up toward freezing by Saturday afternoon. Currently 6F at the house and snowing like crazy. Windchill yesterday was -31F!

    1. You are welcome, Keith!

      With more than a foot of snow at the house, it will be nearly impossible not to have a white Christmas.

      Merry Christmas!

    1. Merry Christmas, Lawrence!

      The weather is challenging, for sure. Lots of snow in arctic temperatures makes holiday travel difficult for many. Australia at Christmas looks inviting.

    1. Merry Christmas, Chris!

      Season's greeting in first Welsh and now Finnish? My Google translate is getting a work-out today.

      Having broken the ice with a remote SYW game and following up with a pair of ECW battles, I expect we will see more remote gaming opportunities in the New Year. With you offering to host a game next week, we may be busy at the remote table in 2023.

  18. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year too Jon. I hope you don't suffer too much with the 'Bomb Cyclone' that's covering most of the US at present. It makes -9.5C here a week or so ago seem positively balmy.

    1. Thank you, Steve. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

      I am not sure what exactly a 'Bomb Cyclone' is but it has been very snowy and darn cold. If our lingering below zero (F) temperatures were not enough with which to contend, windchill recorded -31F on Thursday. Brr.

    2. Apparently it is the meteorological term for the severe weather that you are experiencing Jon, due to the sudden drop in pressure and temperature creating strong winds etc. Well that's what I heard on the news today, with the weather your side of the pond being the main item.

    3. While we, in the PNW, have seen near record low temperatures with lots of snow, we have avoided the very high winds. Knock on wood!
