About 50 deg. F, rain on and off, some sunny breaks this pm.
Not much chance of a white Christmas here. Hasn't happened since 1990.
Gotta love rain to live on the edge of a rainforest.

I have been sick so I have just got around to seeing the weather updates. Interesting. Thought I would see more cold weather though.
I don't want to see any ice this year. We had a really good snow last year. And around here everything closes down if there is even a thought of snow almost.

We have had really mild days this week.Last night we had thunder storms.
I was just going to sleep and thought a light was flickering,well it was lightening.Then came the thunder,I thought the symphony had moved into my house and the percussion section was rehearshing.I have never heard such thunder,sounded like it was an echo effect and real long,shaking the house.It really was incredible.
They say in the winter,if you have thunder,then a snow storm will follow in 10 days ,I believe.That actually has really happened to us,so...time will tell.
SBM,yes the bread and milk fly off of the shelves at the mention,that in itself is really something.People just start freaking and prepare like it is the North Pole.Fun though.

Its cold tonight. Burrrr! Supposed to get down in the thirties tomorrow night and the 20's Monday night. 3great maybe we will see some snow next week you think?
We had an unusual summer so maybe we will have an unusual winter. Just pray no ice and freezing rain. I hate that stuff!

The 'weather'? Snow here. We had a giant rain storm the last couple days, then iy turned cold tonight and started snowing. Balmy eh? That'd be nice for a few days. As for the Weather, well, remember these guys? http://www.lib.uconn.edu/~eembardo/voices/revolution.htm Maybe they were onto something....

EEEEEHHHHHHKKKKKK! last i checked this morning it was 14* here in southeast iowa

On December 9th at 9:00PM it was 75 degrees and very muggy like a spring night. Trees that were supposed to lose their leaves in November are leafing out with spring green and are very confused.
Tonight, less than a week later, we are supposed to have temps in the teens.
The oils prices skyrocketed, and we were so caught up in all else we do, we forgot to lock in.
SOOOoooo..keeping the thermostat down we burn wood constantly (got lots of it here on our wooded land acres, just from already felled trees)..but somebody has to chop it early enough for seasoning .. Great excercize, but I'm scary with an ax
So..thermostats down to 60*, and a fire going all day and night. My son walks by the thermostat and turns it up..and I soon follow to dial it back down. We're fine with a good roaring fire in the family area, and a ceiling fan on reverse. The whole lower part of the house is room temp on my fire watch, noone is suffering..
The dog stays by the fire for three months straight.
75* and balmy?? Where the heck do you live??
3Great, that's funny. Sounds like a few flakes sends everybody running for supplies
If we reacted that way to snow we'd be running to the store in a panic every other day.
The only thing that instills a panic here is talk of one of those blizzards that can set you back a week..like..can't drive the car out to the store in three feet of snow type situations..
I remember even when living in the city that never stops, a couple of blizzards where the cars on the street were completely covered in snow.
Then I visited Ottowa, and they live with many feet of snow through the winter quite well. It's typical to have these mountains of snow banks to climb over on the sidewalks..like tunnels..and all the women have these fabulous swede boots, knee high with laces..just for trecking around.
Come for a visit! Kids get off school, and we can make a snownman

Mo,I'm packing my bags.I really like snow,grew up with it.When it snows here our house turns into grand central!We live next to the park with the super hill!
It is fun,we see kids that go to different schools now(mini Reunuion),and the house is like a home base for them all.So I really must have the home fire burning,lots of hot coco and big pots of soup.
SBM!!!ALERT!!!!SNOW ON MONDAY!!
Get to the store now,before there is nothing left.HA
Stay warm MO,I use to stoke the ole wood stove,loved it,yes good work.We still do the fans,really helps.
No wonder our kids get sick,one week 70's and this week 40's,never a dull moment.

3greatkids,
I heard about the snow. My kids are excited. I am not. I am already wearing two layers of clothes in the house. Babs keeps me cold enouph without the snow.
I have a crisis, I am trying to help that boy with Bipolar that used to stay with me. It is a long story. Thats why I havn't been around. I will try to check in but untill things get squared away I won't be posting much.
Thanks for the concern.
Cindy

Well, it got here. Not nearly as much as some of yopu midwesterners got, perhaps, but right now it's zero degrees and we have a few inches on the ground. I skiied around the neighborhood. No crazy stuff; my wrist is bothering me, but it sure felt good to get out! DaveS

WE HAVE SNOW!!! It is sticking too. My 5 year old asked me at 11:00 if she could get dressed and go outside and play.
She never sleeps. I think she is a vampire! hahahahaha Luckily there is no school tomorrow.
And I was not one of the ones flooding the grocery store this weekend. We have a country store up the road open 24/7 no matter what the weather and we have a 4 wheel drive. Not that I expect we will get alot tonight but I am never one of those that get in that mad rush.
For those of you that think we are nuts. In our area we don't see alot of snow, so when we do, we don't have alot of plows and salt and alot people don't know how to drive on snow covered roads but incist on trying. I live in the country on roads that never see plows and we have drivers out here that can't drive on pavement much less snow!!

Well, at 1:00 we finally passed you- it's gotten UP TO -1, in the middle of the afternoon. I have a fire going.... Maybe I'll get out skiing later, but I'll have to "bundle up"!

Well, its still icebox city tonight! Right now its between 5 and 10 BELOW ZERO, and closer to 10 below, on the fahrenheit scale..... But it doesn't feel as cold since there's not much wind. You feel it freeze your nose, though. The wind will crank around from the south so it will start to get warmer tomorrow. Stay warm, everyone! DS

OK does the cold have any ill effects on Lyme cuz when I walked out yesterday in the low 20's and the wind hit me my vision went bad, my legs didn't want to move I felt sharp pains fly through my body.
Tree if I had to live in -2 yall would have to just dig a hole and burry me!
3greatkids, didn't get enouph for snow balls this time. Didn't bother me but the kids were disapointed.
Charlie, KISS MY GRITS!
LORD HELP MY SPELLING!! I hope many people didn't see all that. I had a horrible day filled with herxing yesterday.
