Your Weather, 2025

[SPedigrees]

We had a sizable snowstorm two days ago, and I shoveled a network of paths yesterday. My snow plow guy cleared the driveway, but today we have snow squalls with a bit of accumulation.

I was going to go to the post office and also get a Christmas tree, but I've re-thought this. Tomorrow is predicted to be sunny and clear, so I'll go out then instead. Today is National Cookie Day! So I'm going to bake homestead cookies and maybe put up the little xmas villages and dig out the decorations for tomorrow's tree.

I don't really keep up a lot with the weather outside of the growing season, but this morning I got shocked by the cold. Yesterday it was -1C/30F in the daytime, this morning it was -33C with windchill factor/-27F. The look on my dogs face when I cracked the door for him to go out was priceless.

Or maybe the dog had a look of ..

My cats used to have a mixed response to bad weather. The female would brave it, without a look back. The tomcat would look up at me as tho he was saying, "Fix It !"

So far I have written all of my Christmas cards and made a few homemade gifts this year including 2 nautical rugs out of anchor line from our first sailboat, a ditty bag made from sail cloth that sinches up with brass grommets, and an apron with a cat print on it. The rest of the gifts will be store bought as I don't have enough time left to make more stuff!! Oh, and I have been listening to Christmas music while crafting! I still need to get my tree up and decorated.

All past tense. The tomcat probably lived so much in the moment that he couldn't be troubled with holding a grudge. The female was a very independent "roommate."

How wonderful! Handmade gifts are the best. I had forgotten that you live only partially on dry land, and the other part onboard a boat!

2 degrees F above when I took the puppy out at 1:30AM last night. Moderating some, heated hose IS still working, by next Wednesday we will hit our average high of 40 degrees F.

Our weather may become noticed in contrast with what is going on beyond the center of N America.

Our mist/sprinkles changed to quite a rainshower at midday, yesterday. Of course, the snow vanished and there was some street flooding. Early morning, the temperature is well above freezing and it is windy. The wind is supposed to increase and bring more rain for the next several days. Snow may be falling only at the highest elevations.

By midweek, I will be curious to see if we have some, not records for daily highs, but record high low temperatures. Something approaching 50⁰f (10⁰C) would do it. I suppose that we won't be reaching flooding levels for streams but I might be wrong about that. What a contrast with our Summer!

Steve, oh and that Super Full Moon — what Moon? I'm beginning to forget when I last saw the Sun!
