I learned a long time ago that is best to not have a vested interest in the weather. I'd feel differently if I owned a business that was dependent on certain types of weather for the business to be successful.
....oh that Friday night I did wear a winter coat , ...but in general I do not feel the cold all that easily. I easily could live in a much colder climate.
No frost here in Methuen....and that means there will not be a single frost this month. ...and another fall "heatwave" incoming.
Have not had to turn the heat on the entire month...first time in 30 years of owning the home.
The potential strength of El Nino can certainly trainwreck the entire winter of 23-24. Anyone who says otherwise is doing the weather equivalent of" whistling pass the graveyard"
You may want to consider purchasing these. They work very well! they come in different sizes. And they can be reused. Relatively inexpensive
