This is how early I was up today:

Yes, that is the sun rising. On the East Coast. After I had already been awake for almost two hours. I'm going to totally crash at about noon, I can just feel it. :)

On the plus side, it looks as though the gross rain we had yesterday may have gone far toward getting rid of some snow...which is good for commuting to work purposes, but slightly less great for White Christmas purposes. Can't have it all, I guess.
