Tues, Nov 9, 1943: cold as a barn

"It has really been chilly the last two days.   About 24° was the lowest Mon. morning and my schoolhouse was as cold as a barn."
-- Letter from my grandmother, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Cape Girardeau, Mo., Tuesday, November 9, 1943.  Three day earlier, on November 6, Soviet forces had captured Kiev from Nazi forces.
