Definitely going to be crisp night. Helps with breathing going out for a quick walk clears my congestion. Being inside I'm a mucus factory...

Last year of the Farmers Almanac. We have to go out with a bang. I don't care if its a blizzard, ice storm or whatever. Need something memorable...not nickel and dime crap. The end of an era. After 208 years, the Farmers’ Almanac has officially published its final edition. For generations, farmers, gardeners, old-timers, and “I can tell a storm’s coming by my knee” folks have used it to predict the weather, planting seasons, fishing days, and just about everything in between. Their 2026 edition is already out — and it will be the last one ever. Even their online access is shutting down next month due to rising costs and the mess of today’s media world. Whether you trusted it… or just argued with it… it’s hard to deny it was a piece of American tradition.

Weren't we all? But yeah that was something else for New Year's Eve. Mother nature supply their own fireworks.....

We had a massive lightning show and thunder last New Year's Eve. Plenty of time...

Yeah this is decent. More thunder and now steady rain...

Distant rolling thunder...

This is the same type of event as the other night. Overnight rains ending around daybreak....maybe .25". 58F/light-mod rain

More reds developing. Maybe I'll get on the horn and wake drought guy...still warm out, 60 F

Stuff moving in, Soutwest to Northesst,....

He could really sport that mustache ala 70s Burt Reynolds...

Itt sure as hell wasn't a gully washer and it's out of here at 6:20 a.m. Guessing .2"-ish... could be completely wrong. 54F

Rain heading through Reading and on my doorstep. Drought guy is probably so damn excited he can't even sleep... 56F

Woke up around 4:00 a.m. with one eye open and checked the temp. 28F as well. It may have dropped a degree or two after that, I don't know....

I worked for a company like that where we had to call in. If they had enough people show up we did a little something but never a full day but pay for the full day. If only two or three showed up, ate a little breakfast/donuts/coffee. Didn't work a minute, sent home and paid for the full day. Being a weenie I didn't mind traveling in the snow. I actually look forward to it and getting paid for a full day for doing nothing it was well worth it. Another bright full moon, cool and crisp.
