[Lowfer] MP in the Daytime

[Mitch Powell]

John: Many thanks for the captures and the information about the signal.
Temperature has dropped significantly in the last few days... going down
to nearly -18C or  zero F  (windchill ) overnight. Very stable weather though with 
plenty of sunshine ( and the maple syrup is flowing )
Spring must be coming !
