Transcript	[December Fri 21] Shortest day of the year. Broad daylight at 8.30. Light fall of snow last night. Thermometer at zero. Light clouds. Sun below horizon. A beautiful winter day- Dusk at 3. p.m. Six hours and a half of day light, and yet it was cloudy. So far we are both surprised and pleased that the climate here is so much better than it has been represented. While it gets cold, yet it is dry, and barring long trips and accidents there is little danger from the cold.
