DD (Peoria area) said that the AC was still running late yesterday in the House, even though the temperatures had dropped to the 60's Outside. She turn AC off, opened up the windows and everybody slept great last night.
WE had very heavy, pea-soup fog this morning, which is almost a light rain. YEA!!!!

I'm doing the opposite –– opening the windows at mid-day to freshen the air in the house.
The house is cooling overnight to quite a bit below "room temperature" because the thermostat is set at 62°f (17°C). I turn it up in the AM and the furnace runs awhile, go to nighttime temperature mid-morning. Noon today was the earliest that it has been comfortable to open the windows. Outdoors overnight, and except for the freezing Monday, it has been closer to 40f (4C).
Rain chances come on Friday and snow levels will drop to about 4,000 feet so the tops of the higher mountains should be white when we can catch sight of them again.

It has been raining.
What is this? I think it's called humidity
.
There are no puddles but it looks as tho the Weather Service is saying we had about 1/10 inch. Supposed to continue.
Steve!

The Weather Service came through with some accuracy — it's absolutely miserable outdoors.
It was raining off and on throughout the day, Sunday. Temperatures stayed in the 40's F (single digitS C). With an absence of sun, it warmed to 50 (10⁰C) in the greenhouse, briefly. Light Rain has been falling since 10 PM, so 5 hours. It is now 38⁰f (3⁰C) and windy at 3:30. The wind is supposed to increase to nearly 40mph gusts over today and tonight as the rainclouds blow away. I may be moving the garbage can out to the curb at 6AM with some snow falling.
I picked a bucket of green tomatoes yesterday but that is only some of what is out there. We have so many ripe tomatoes in the kitchen and the freezers are as full as they can be. No way will sprinklers mitigate freezing with so much wind over the next 24-36 hours. I'm thinking that it may snow but not freeze this morning because the rain clouds are hanging around.

i was just checking out the national radar and saw what looked like snow happening up that ways to the east of you... brr! not ready for that here yet, but it can happen at any time now.
we had fog here this morning when i went out to put the trash at the curb. there was enough fog that i thought i might come back inside for the flashlight to look for some junk i wanted to put in the trash bag, but the moon was coming through the fog enough that i could get it done by moonlight. now that's a poem title _Trash in the Fog By Moonlight_... last week it was moonlight too but no fog.

oh, and since i'm on the topic of weather, the inflows to Lake Powell have been great the past few days as they've had such rotten flows over the past few years that this is the first time they've gotten above the highs for those past few years. a measly 15,000cfs... this sets up the ground moisture and runoff for next year nicely if they can get a decent snow pack and some more rains before the ground freezes.

You mean that Arizona, Nevada, and California can't just have the gates opened north in ... uh ... north ... down the coast ... bring it thru Yosa Mite ? Bringing from some place north like ... uh ... Alberta! Oh yeah. Bring it in with the petroleum!
Didn't snow, didn't freeze. Wind is frigid. Delivering zucchini bread to a friend and will have the Winter Squash in the garage tonight.
