We're at 47°F now, expected to get up to 50°. It's a little cloudy with the sun coming and going.

We get some winter and snow, but not much. It's enough to say we have four seasons, but that's about it.

I'm trying to keep my husband not go outside...It's still snowing and weather is awful...Schools are cancelled again tomorrow...My son shoveled his driveway 3 hours ago and covered with
snow now...The plows have been coming around for the streets...Not too many people leaving their homes on our block...
 
Today is the 14th day of below freezing temperatures, and it will probably be 17 days before the temp goes above 32. That will make this the 2nd longest period of such low temperatures in the past 100 years...for this area.

Its 23 here now, but tonight its going to be 12, but will feel more like 0. The problem is the wind chill.
We're supposed to get about 3 inches of snow on Monday, along with some ice.
I took my dog for a walk today, and its very cold - had to use toboggan and gloves just to go about a quarter of a mile.

Well, Harley, hubby went out started the snow blower up and started clearing the driveway...So I texted my son, they came over (daughter in law and my grandson) all helped) Actually Hubby
said he needed the exercise....I can't keep a good man down!!!!
 
Winter is our rainy season. Last year messed up our travel plans but we needed all the rain that came. This year started well, but there was no rain at all after Dec 2nd until yesterday, Jan 3rd.

December was chilly but sunny. Day temps high 50's, nite temps low 40's. We did a couple of trips to take advantage of the no-rain: Mendocino and Sonoma County. Today is actually warmer, due to the high humidity (big storms are tropical so they bring warm moist air in). 61 degrees, cloudy, no real wind. Expecting more rain tonite and another storm slides in next week.

If we get a pause in the weather this month, I'm thinking of a trip to Napa Valley. Only 90 min away from us.
 
Up here in the High Desert at 3000 feet, we have a dry atmosphere.

I mean DRY, DRY, DRY!
Lately, we've been having a daily temperature range of 30's through 60's, with an extremely low humidity.

Our atmosphere is crackling with static electricity!

Wherever I go in our house, I get a spark and a mild shock when I touch a wall switch, a lamp socket, or a faucet...anything that is grounded! I even get a shock when I touch the metal frame of our sliding glass doors!

This morning, when one of our dogs came in from outside and jumped up on my bed to greet me, I got a spark and a shock when I touched her !

I feel like a human Lightning Rod!

Books have been written about the climate up here...here's one:

Right here along the coast, in southern Mass., we just received a foot of snow, high winds, and coastal flooding in some areas. No damage where we are, just the normal snowfall. it's supposed to drop into the teens tomorrow so all of the wet snow that wasn't removed will be frozen.

We also got almost a foot of it SW of Hartford. And yes it's going to be even colder over the weekend. Do you recall past winters as cold as this in N.E. Dave?
 
You are funny jujube. :)

So do you that live in the path of this horrible storm have food put up so you don't have to go to the store? I hope everyone is well. We gave our grand-daughter a sleeping bag that will go way below zero in case their power ever goes out in Sweden and she is cold. I'm trusting her parents keep something in the house for her to eat if they are stranded for a few days. I find crackers and peanut butter work good for that.
 
Is 1 above,wind chill is -20,winds are light.All the schools here are closed.
I took my usual early morning walk{6:30} all bundled up to get the papers. I'm used to walking in this weather,doesn't bother me.
The forecast for next week,temps in the 30's near 40,YIPPEE !!!!!! Sue

I don't remember it this cold at such an early date. We weren't too far from you this past week-end as we spend 4 days at our son's home in Colchester. 29 of our immediate family from Mass., R.I., and Conn. gathered there on Saturday for our belated Christmas celebration. A treat for my wife and I was having 6 of our 7 great grandkids present. Our son and 2 of his married children have homes there and another son lives in Vernon. My son's wife was originally from Southington.
 
Brrrrrrrr! It's supposed to be 11 today but with wind chills causing it to feel like 5 below zero. It's supposed to get even colder, especially tonight. Windy until Sunday afternoon.
