Cold night - this frozen glass of water made an upsicle!
12/8/09
It was cold last night! This glass filled with rain water from yesterday's rain storm was outside, and somehow grew this strange finger of ice when it froze solid overnight. I call it an "upsicle"! (San Marcos Pass, 8 December 2009)
I checked at about 6 AM, and it was 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 Celsius). That's cold for us here in sunny Santa Barbara. The frost stayed on the ground all day where the sun doesn't shine - and that's most of the garden at this time of year.
It was actually cold enough to freeze our propane. We had to pour hot water over the regulator this morning to restore the gas flow. I guess it was water condensation in the regulator?

Cold indeed! I don't remember having such cold nights, even when living in Berkeley. Was the glass left as is outside? I'd love to have seen a stop-motion video of the "upsicle" forming!
As for today's mystery bug, it's an insect, just not an adult. It's a beetle acephalous campodeiform larvae!
