Cold grey skies the marine layer is stuck here all day again. The dew point is dropping as a new storm is approaching soon for the west coast . Colder temps and snow for higher elevations in the PNW. Burrr.
High today is 44F.
I can’t see down to the end of the driveway. That’s a lot of heavy moisture hanging around.

Mild, then we skip to full blown winter.
Snow for the weekend, but almost 60 degrees today.
NO predictions far enough out to know if we get back to mild.

It stormed last night, a tornado went over an upscale neighborhood in Houston and blew roofs off, but did not totally obliterate homes, but still major damage.

This morning, it was 26°f (-3°C) in this neighborhood. Officially the coldest morning in this very much above normal November.
@ducks4you , you can look at what the Weather Service thinks about above & below normal temperatures for your neck of the woods from 6 days to seasonal here: LINK.
Then, see what your normals are here: LINK.

someone mentioned snow falling off roofs and how certain kinds can be dangerous and that reminded me of living in the attic of a place up north and how the snow and ice would pile up and then suddenly come off.
it would shake the house as it released from the change in the weight and then it would shake the house as it hit the ground too at first but as the snow got deeper there was more of a cushion and not quite so much shaking.
the house did have a front porch and roof over the entrance and that made it safe enough and you didn't tend to walk out along the edges of the house during the winter anyways so i never was worried about being smashed by the snow and ice coming down but i was also always aware enough to look up anyways as the house was two and a half stories tall and fairly narrow on a small lot so there really wasn't a lot of room to walk.
the amount of snow we usually got up there was enough that they built the houses with a raised up first floor because by the middle to late winter you didn't have a place to shovel snow and it would be piled up quite deep along the porch and walkway to get to the street. nobody ever shovelled the sidewalk because it was constant enough and nearly pointless (and also most people parked on it if they shovelled it at all).
once the snow melted in the spring then things would return to more civilized and people would stop parking on the sidewalk but out of habit almost everyone still walked in the street along that way.
as for today the weather forecast is cool, scattered snow, but nothing significant and plenty of wind.
