    It's officially winter

     



    Welcome to the 1st day of winter, and also the day of the year with the shortest time between dawn and dusk---starting tomorrow we have more daylight time then the day before. Well, in this hemisphere anyway!!!

    Today was nice, mid 30's and a few snow flurries-nothing at all like last winter when it was so brutally cold and we had snow ------ deep to a tall giraffe!!! Just curious if others are having as mild a winter (so far) as we are up here?

    In the fifties here today, cold in the low 30's high 20's at night. A cold winter, but very dry for us Dave. This is usually our wet season!

    Expected 76 on the beach today, high of 70 with 30% chance of rain on Christmas....

    If the weatherman gives the chance of rain at less that 50%, does that mean there is less chance of rain than normal???

    Oh well, seems like all of the responders do not have to deal with "snow ------ deep to a tall giraffe!!!" this year!!!

    But the early drop of acorns was supposed to mean a hard winter...I thought

    Merry Christmas!
    ...at least I'm enjoying the ride!

    Dave,
    I'm just a bit downstream of you in the winter blast category (nothing between us & the north pole but a barbed wire fence that's down ), but so far we've had it pretty easy. Headed to 37F today, and mid-40's over the weekend! Not bad for December.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Well, luckily there are some trees and hills between us! We're supposed to get to 50, 51 degrees today! And with the price of fuel oil.. I am NOT complaining!

    Drove an hour south of Tigard today to Grand Ronde, Oregon and watched the temperature move from 32 to 21 degrees. Brrrr. Supposed to be in the 30's tonight but no snow or other measurable moisture until Saturday..

    I'm okay with cold as long as there's no wind - just cuts through me anymore. I really like Mesa, Phoenix, Palm Springs, etc this time of year!
