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:

OMG, I HATE static electricity. It's pretty rare here unless we have been running the furnace a lot. Of course with the cold snap for the past couple of weeks, we have been running the furnace a lot!! I have shocked myself a hundred times a day and it's annoying as heck.
 
We haven't been close to the predicted highs for several days. Predicted highs have been in the low forties, but we've been stuck in the twenties. It was supposed to be 50 today, but we're still at 38. Our coldest month is December so I am happy that's over. It's interesting that back east the coldest time is mid to late January, but here it's December.
 
52 low tonight and 75 high tomorrow (F) here in wonderful Phoenix AZ. I feel for you poor folks in the east with all that snow and subfreezing temperatures! (Just don't move to AZ please)
 
Chilly for here, minus two Celsius overnight, then highs of seven tomorrow. Will warm up over the next few days. This is the rainy season. The price we pay for twelve months of green. Don’t worry, Irene. I am certain Arizona is gorgeous, but I am addicted to living in a temperate Maritime climate. Life on an island is wonderful. Ocean, lakes, rivers everywhere.

It is brutal here in the West Valley. I can't wait for it to warm up.
 
Below zero wind chills again. Next week we're supposed to warm up to the 40's. I hope. :sentimental:
 
It is 51 degrees today but 31 degrees tonight. Tomorrow it warms up to 57 with 46 at night. Then it goes into the low 70's and high 50's at night the rest of the week. It will be so nice to not freeze until the next one arrives. Hopefully not.:eek:

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.

What a wonderful gathering. You might write a book about all your family experiences. I bet there's some great stories and I just love family sagas!

I used to live in Southington. It's a lovely town. Oh, BTW it's 2 degrees.
 
We're finally above freezing this morning...34 degrees...for the first time since Dec. 23rd. Hopefully, this bitter 2 weeks will be it for this Winter, and we will return to our more normal, short duration, swings in the temperatures.
 
On my early morning walk at 6:30 to buy the paper,winds were light,2 above.
As I walked to/from church,temp was around 10
On my afternoon walk,it felt wonderful,p. sunny 16
This upcoming week,Jan thaw,tomorrow in the 30's near 50 by Thurs,YIPPEE!!!! Sue
