It was above freezing for the first time in days, the Charles River is actually starting to freeze over, but I doubt that will last, as we're supposed to get an inch or two of rain tomorrow, because of warm air coming up from the south. We'll then be back to winter temperatures Monday. Hopefully the two weather systems don't collide, because ice storms, while heartachingly lovely, are deadly to both electrical grids, and cars and people.

For those folks who live in warmer climes, rivers are slower to freeze because the water is always moving. When the ocean starts to freeze, then you know it's REALLY winter, as it is not only in motion, but salty, so freezes at lower temps.
