We have 2 hanging baskets of miniature Petunia plants. There not in the best shape. But they are still blooming in December. They have endured numerous frosts and temps as low as 17 degrees. I never seen an annual do this before. All the other annuals succumbed to the frost. This must be one hardy species. Also the grass is still green here too!

I have a feeling your gonna screw up the winter for the snow lovers back home here.

Shrouded in fog this morning.

My monthly stats for November 2023. Average 38.9°F High 73.0°F11/7/232:07 pm am Low 17.8°F11/30/236:24 am

Hopefully no one will go off the rails and be offended. I hope no one needs restrained in this thread. Let the snow maps commence!

28 this morning. On the first day of metrological winter.

18 this morning.

I see everyone's favorite S&S put out their winter forecast .

THIS WEEK IN WEATHER 28-29 NOVEMBER 2023

18 this morning ,good call @Bubbler86

Peters Mountain in the winter months is like a dividing point that separates slightly warmer conditions to the south of it and colder conditions to the north. It's amazing how that happens. You go from no snow to the south of it to snow laying on the ground north of it. I seen it several times. It separates Dauphin County on the weather side.

I'm still waiting on the ice age to come that the scientists were saying was coming in the mid 1970's

I'm just not ready for this.

From our friend DT:

I didn' think the ground was cold enough yet (especially macadam roads) for the snow to stick. Boy was I wrong.

And so it begins the icy roads and accidents. Upper Dauphin Traffic Info Renee Trutt · 38m · Give yourself extra time this morning....Peter's Mtn is apparently closed ( they are detouring everyone across Mtn Rd).

All weather freaks ,fanatics, enthusiasts should be welcome here. Weather knows no boundaries.

31 this morning. The rain that fell last night froze overnight on the grass and on the cars dog kennel etc. I guess were at that time of the season for freezes.

Maybe it's a safe way to avoid being ridiculed at the end of the season.

Of all the winter forecasts out there, we need to grade all of them. And see which one did the best at the end of this winter.

DT released his final winter forecast. https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!AIk7OpnSc_vGNxM&id=1CA2F9A16D1A6375!29409&cid=1CA2F9A16D1A6375&parId=root&parQt=sharedby&parCid=UnAuth&o=OneUp

22 this morning.

I'm not sure on that the grass here looks like it's still growing here. Even the wife said it's still growing and I mowed it last week.

I'm not in the DO.
