Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays :)

What a nice Christmas Day, cool and wintry but not dangerously so. It's a chilly but comfy 35
degrees this afternoon on Christmas Day. We should stay foggy but dry over the next few days. Temps will stay in the thirties for the most part unless the mighty El Sol manages to bust through the foggy blanket, then 40s will prevail. This time of year that big 'ole' sun can't get much higher than 22-23 degrees above the horizon so she doesn't have the amps to bust through this overcast.

Hey, it's winter, this is better than rain, not quite as desirable as snow, but Christmas is after all a winter holiday and it should be at least a little chilly, and so it is.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a great day :)

Drip, drip, drip and maybe a flurry...

So we have been cool and foggy with a persistent dripping from the skies above. After the cold snap many are delighted at the lack of freezing temperatures over the last few days.

Some of the computer models are showing some light snow in the forecast for some areas in the valleys this week. but it is not going to stick around if it even falls at all.

With just a few hours over a week till Christmas, the weather seems to be in a typical mid December pattern. Go ahead and soak it up my friends, soak it up... with only 7 shopping days left... you have little choice.

Nippiness Has Finally Arrived

Well friends, this autumn has been to say the least, mild.  This morning however was actually quite chilly for mid-November. The mercury bottomed out just before sun-up with a genuinely chilly 20.4 degrees. If it were late December of early January well, so what. But this is pre-Thanksgiving and that is a bona fide cold morning for this early in the season.

The great yellow orb is shining with an amazing radiance however and we should find the afternoon warming well into the 40s. We are going to get a little extended sunshine after two weeks of gloominess so you know the drill...

Yeah, Soak it up my friends, soak it up.
