The UC, apparently dressed in some Mideast head gear, looks down at the throngs from the Ice Marshal's Lair during a pit stop on a walkabout.

A different New Year's day this year than in the past. The temperature is expected to get to +8C, and the rain is to continue for a good part of the day. This afternoon the temperature will drop to -9C, and winter conditions should return.
