The weather underground station closest to the farm has gone offline. There is one in town, just 3 miles past the other one, but it runs 3-4 degrees warmer. Even really small towns have concrete I guess. But I've switched to one 4-5 miles away, that seems to be closer to my weather. That said, they screwed the pooch on this morning's forecast low. It was 26F, ten degrees colder than forecast, with a big white frost.

Tonight at 2205 it is clear, 38F with 81% humidity. Our high for the day was 69F. Forecast low is 42F (and it's already colder than that) with 7% chance of rain tonight, and a high of 72F with 7% chance of rain tomorrow. I heading out in a little while for my midnight ramble, so cuddle duds are on the menu.

Hope everyone has a good turkey day.

Thanks. We did our first meal Sunday with the Castle Rock crew before they went home. Today we went up to Dothan AL to our friends house for round two. Tomorrow we all gather at my work (since we are closed for the holiday, I use the big room) for the final eating.

It was hard to get outside with the cold, but I got in 5 miles Thursday night and 3.5 last night.

I am dragging this morning. Getting everything to town, getting the room setup, a couple hours of eating, then take down and cleanup, and getting it all back home was a job of work. Now we have just over a month to get the house ready for New Year's. We skipped last year, but the year before there were about 25-30 folks here. Knowing us we won't do anything until about a week before.

Really nice day today. At least the two minutes I've been outside so far. At 1125 it's sunny, 62F with 27% humidity. Forecast high low of 64/42F with no chance of rain. (the forecast lows have been way off so I figure it will get colder than 42)

I feel for you. It's never fun having your shed roof in the front yard. We got lucky the first week after Micheal in that there was no rain. But it's been three years now and I've only got two of the 12 damaged sheds and barns on the farm repaired.

We broke a record high temperature today. It got up to 62°F. The average is 50° and the previous record was 59°. I was out in a t-shirt doing yard work and it's almost December. Mt Hood Meadows pushed back their opening date for skiing because they don't have any snow. It had snowed but the freezing level has really dropped lately.

At 2105 it's clear, 38F with 77% humidity. Forecast low is 36F, but as cold as it is this early, I figure that is way off.

I'm heading out in a minute for my nightly walk. Will be slipping into the cuddle duds for sure tonight.

It was cold for a couple of days last week and then back to warm days and mild nights around here. Fuckin' creepy; it's like I should be in New Mexico, eating Hatch Chiles instead of northern Colorado.

Same here. It's the first day of winter and it's 54°F and sunny. It's supposed to get close to 60°F today. In a couple hours I'll be out in a t-shirt mowing the lawn and doing other yardwork.

Technically the first day of winter is the 21st of December but nitpicks aside, I agree that things are staying strangely warm far later than they should.

I was just going by what they were saying on the Weather Channel this morning.

I see that there is a meteorological which is December 1st and an astronomical which is December 21st the winter solstice. But yeah it's crazy warm for this time of year.

I'm starting to wonder about those wacky kids down at the Weather Channel; first they start naming storms as if they're an official government agency and now they're playing with the calendar...

Today was 73F in Denver, that tied a record set in 1973. More record warmth expected the rest of this week.

For the record, I'm seeing NWS Twitter accounts calling today the first day of "meteorological winter" so it must be a thing. TIL...

I just started getting a little gray in my hair. But my beard is all white at this point. Most years I grow a winter beard between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Every spring when I shave several folks tell me how young it makes me look. lol
