We now have close to 700 people participating (wow!) and as far as I can tell, about 10% of us will be making southern hemisphere snakes (hot-cold-hot instead of cold-hot-cold). We have some wonderful colour schemes developing, and lots of learning opportunities in the community discussions.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve made a collage from some of the latest photos that have been posted. These are taken from the CAL threads on Discord and Ravelry, plus some from people who&#8217;ve tagged me (@PlanetJune) on FB and IG:<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.planetjune.com\/blog\/CAL_images\/TempSnakesMonth1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetjune.com\/blog\/images\/TempSnakesMonth1.jpg\" alt=\"PlanetJune Temperature Snake 2023 CAL - month 1 roundup\" \/><em>Click to see the collage larger!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not joining in with <a href=\"\/community\">the community groups<\/a> yet, please do come over, share your progress with us all, and join in the conversations!<\/p>\n<p>And, if you&#8217;d like your snake to be included in the next monthly roundup, please post an up-to-date pic in the 2 or 3 days before the last day of the month. I&#8217;ll try to include as many as possible in each collage.<\/p>\n<p>Several people have decided to make twin snakes &#8211; one for the daily high temperatures, and another for the daily lows. (You can see a few pairs in the collage above!) I wasn&#8217;t planning to, but, as my January temperatures were unexpectedly high, I decided to join in with that, and Jewel now has a fraternal twin, Gem:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetjune.com\/blog\/images\/jewelandgem1.jpg\" alt=\"2023 temperature snakes by planetjune - month 1\" \/><em>Jewel (top) has the daily high temps, and Gem (bottom) has the daily lows<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m using the same temperature scale for both my snakes, so I anticipate seeing a lot of my coldest colour (purple) in Gem and little or none of my hottest colour (dark red), and vice versa for Jewel. It&#8217;s going to be interesting to see how different or similar they are throughout the year!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to join in with that too, catching up on a month isn&#8217;t too much work, so now&#8217;s the perfect time to start your snake&#8217;s twin, before it gets too far behind&#8230; You can add some more &#8216;low&#8217; colours to the bottom of your temperature scale, or just accept that there may be a lot of your coldest colour in your lows snake, as I&#8217;m doing.<\/p>\n<p>And the same applies if you want to join us for the CAL right now! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetjune.com\/tempsnake\">Grab the pattern<\/a> and get caught up &#8211; we&#8217;d love for you to join us for the rest of 2023 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Roll on February!
