We had a dusting of snow, and freezing rain on top of the snow....so it's very cold here. Now that winter solstice has come and gone, we will gain more daylight each day that goes by.....

It is going to be in the low to middle 70's, heading to upper 70's by the end of the week.

The fire fighters are still battling the Thomas fire.

Almost 274,000 acres burned so far and 90% contained. They have been fighting it since early December.

It is the largest wildfire in California history and there is zero rain expected.

We had a white Christmas with more than just a dusting of snow, I'd say at least two to three inches out here in the higher elevation.

Now they forecast temps to be in the low to mid 30's till Wednesday when they will rise into the 40's with rain!

I also noticed the sun is setting at 4:24 now compared to 4:19 on the solstice.

Snow! Snow! Glorious Snow! It's 28 degrees this morning with a high of 29 expected tomorrow so it's not going anyplace anytime soon. :)

Wow, it evidently snowed a second time here whilst I was poorly. Twice in December is almost unheard of in recent years! Didn't think the temperature had been low enough. It's melting though, and what's left on the pavements is thin slush, really, so I was able to get to the local shops for supplies OK.

One of my Christmas gifts from my BFF was an green technology type heating blanket, so I'm fairly warm eight now, although it's terribly cold outside.

I came home after the holiday to see a few inches of snow and ice out on my patio deck. Really glad I spent the holiday with my BFF and her family. The gorge winds really factor in during any type of weather, so I agree with Gemme about wind chill factors.

Right now, it's 30* with fairly dense fog.

When I walked the dog this morning the wind chill was -12*.

Currently it is 5* wind chill -4*....the high expected is 10*

:praying:

Weather report
 

40 degrees and rainy in central Texas.


:cold:

It is 66 degrees and sunny. It was nice to be out in the sun running errands.
The next few days will be up into the 70's. I am enjoying this while it lasts because it's supposed to get really cold on New Year's Eve. Fortunately, winter doesn't last that long here in SE New Mexico.

Rain and high 50's temps but starting at 6pm there is a high wind warning that goes into effect until 4 am Saturday morning! Hope we don't lose power!


I notice the sun is setting at 4:26 so we've already gained a few added minutes of daylight!

Cold, with an expectation of cold, followed by cold and then cold. So yeah, cold.

Heater on and socks instead of flip flops in Texas - although I did see teens in shorts at Walmart last night. lol

Currently 21* (feels like 15*)
Tomorrow it will be 11* with a low of -1*

It is cold!

Snowed in!
