For my geeky friends, it was +250 degrees Kelvin overnight here in Stow, with windchill down to +243 Kelvin (is there Kevin windchill?)

For my international friends, it was -23C overnight here in Stow, MA, with a windchill of -30C.

On the plus side, the clear skies and cold weather should make this an awesome solar power production day. Making 200+W pre-sunrise.

It could have been worse: overnight low here was only -10F, with wind chill of -23F. It’s just the beginning of winter, though.
