The bare ground is freezing now. With no snow cover, the frost begins t sink into the earth. Water, though is still not frozen.
Heat recedes as the sun is veiled by a thin haze day after day. Nights are clear and crisp, the waning moon in sharp focus. Nighttime radiational cooling is not balanced by daytime radiatinal warming, so the cold is winning over heat loss.
Winter winds win. The body of earth gives up its heat. Do we think our own bodies are any different?
