22.8F -SN nearing 1"
Festive refresher with tree branches and ground covered, and low impact for all those who have to travel later.

Those who poo poo cold air in winter I got just the place for ya - We average 66 in Jan with lows in the mid 40s. Some winters we don't even have frost
Look, I know this is absolutely crazy coming from The Jebman --- But I love this place so much! They had to drag me kickin' and screamin' all the way down here - But now I love it with all my heart! 7 month long summers are Da Bomb!
I lived in S Texas in the late 70s and couldn't get out of there fast enough. Yes, palm and citrus trees, and watermelon fields dotted with oil & gas pumps. But the searing heat from May to September, and 70s-80s thru the winter is enough to bore a wx enthusiast to tears. 10 day forecasts are on repeat all summer - sunny, upper 90s, low 80s at night - and walking out the door in summer is a blast furnace assault to exposed skin. Not to mention the hostility of goat-heads in yards that shred your pets paws to hamburger and nestle in your socks to gore you unexpectedly at some future slight movement. Fleas that thrive in the grass year round, along with scorpions and tarantulas. That said, I get ya - and to each their own, both my sisters still live there after all these years and love it. Plus, there's Whataburger...
Merry Christmas!

-0.4° for the low, now 1.8°

6.3 off a low of 3.7. Farm pond is frozen solid, with a half inch coating hanging on from fri night, wintah vibes of yore

They call it a Clipper… clipper, faster than lightning,
Few storms you see, are faster than he,
And we know the Clipper’s just a vort in the dry air,
Flying by here, on it’s way to the sea
Snow lovers hope each Clipper they see,
Will stall and grab moisture, when it reaches the sea
But that trick’s a rare one, and much more likely
No one will see, more than a coating to three.

I have way more memories of snow on Thanksgiving than Christmas.
This is true the last decade or so. Opposite of my childhood when Oct or Nov snows were rare but Christmas was more reliable - which I prefer.

Absolutely nothing to look forward to wx wise . No snow to track , no more screamers. Just total boredom thru months end . Blows Jack dick
When I start feeling like this I take one spiked eggnog and a brooklynwx99 animation or two, and my mood improves dramatically...

A surprising number of folks want 15ft or larger trees, we get more requests than we can fill. This was one of 4 we've sold in the past week that was 16 or more feet tall. It takes a lot of determination to lift it onto the trailer, get it stood up in a stand, secured, and decorated but there's still folks looking for these big trees.

well .. to be empathetic to the solemn singers, it's been since 2015 ... mmm 9 years is for all intents and purposes a decade, that much of coastal mass has seen normal snow. so saying "just had" ...that's a little gaslighty hahaha.
seriously though, it's getting on in age at this point. thing is, we may have slipped over a climate threshold where these 9 years worth of sore butting becomes more normal. i know that's probably going to earn me 0 love hearts, no 100 %'s ... no thankyous and a pile of shit or two, but this is unfortunately our non-zero possible reality at this point.
that said, this winter will probably go on to conquer all evil ... just to enable. but the price in selling to that devil might be a new fresh hell of 12 years again over before we pull the cosmic d out of our cc bums ... a time in which the polar ice free waters for the first time.
Yeah talk to those of us who lived thru the 80s LOL

I'll trade a suboptimal look in the middle of December for a reprieve from the Grinch. If we get a wintry appeal anytime after Dec 22nd or so, I couldn't care less what it does beforehand.

32.0° -SN
Evergreens and bamboo are getting a little saggy.
Exactly why I'm hoping to stay on the RN side of this one - opening day tomorrow for Christmas trees here at the farm and after the last two years I'm done with branch-breaking paste jobs for a while. Bring back the fluffier stuff hopefully for December and it's all good. 33.8° -RN
-
32.5F -RN 0.06" in the gauge so far.
Fingers crossed we stay on the wet side of the R/S line with just flakes at the end and no accum - so far the short range models look good for that here but it's close

1.01" since yesterday, skies quickly alternating from low clouds to nearly clear and back.

Cold, brown and dry could have a silver lining beyond pond skating and ice fishing, if the cold was deep enough to impact the tick and invasive populations, but as modeled this is pedestrian cold and won't get the job done.
