It Was 50 Years Ago The Beatles Appeared On The Ed Sullivan Show

It was 50 years ago, (Feb. 9, 1964) when The Beatles appeared and did their thing on the Ed Sullivan Show. I still can remember when they landed in NYC, a day after I had turned 15 years old. And then watching them on a black & white Zenith TV. Image source: http://wikipedia.org

Dusting Of Snow On Hedges

Got about an inch or two of snow today, more or less of a nuisance. Warmer weather is to be here for the weekend, and Monday.

Sun

Took this photo on Sunday. The sun was showing weakly through the overcast sky.

Moon

The moon is in its Waxing Crescent phase, which is 32% illuminated. Believe me, the moon is in the photo. Shortly after 6:00 pm, it was 31F, -0.6C. Not too bad for the first week of December.
