Ah, San Diego. We spent a Christmas in southern California when my daughter was living in Escondido. We were in SD on Christmas day - it was the first time I walked outside on Christmas in short-sleeves.
Pretty nice right?
Where is home normally?
Well, she moved back to the East Coast after one of the forest fires came too close to her home and got evacuated to a school auditorium for a week. Suburban Richmond VA’s a little more to her liking. ;-)
I’m one of the crazies who LOVES winter, the colder the better. Bear in mind though, that I live in hot, muggy Florida, where summer seems to go on forever . . .
In late 2009 I moved from Michigan to Maryland for a new job. I had to move a few months before my family because the Obama/Granholm Depression made selling a house in Michigan very difficult.
Everyone told me Maryland doesn’t get much snow and I don’t need any cold weather gear. Two weeks after I moved here, we got a two foot snowfall, followed a couple weeks later by three feet of snow. Yep, don’t need any gear.
But you’re right, most years I almost have to get my winter coat out.
Gotcha, I’m outside Philly.
We both are by such wonderful diversity…
What do the Wooly Worms say?
THANK YOU for providing a much needed LOL!
One thing I can usually count on at least around here is the Farmers Almanac predictions being wrong.
Darn…the Inland Northwest is cold and dry. We need precip!
Ree is 113 years old. Winters were different when she was a little girl.
We had a light winter, last.
I can’t believe that the non-stop fires and smoke we have endured the last few months are NOT going to have an effect. The Almanac does not use such information, though.
“The centuries-old forecaster is predicting a light winter for most of the United States, with warmer-than-normal temperatures expected for a large part of the country.”
How’d that turn out?
*************************************************
In SC neat border with NC we had zero days of snow and the majority of winter temps in the high 40’s to lower 50’s with lots of rain. While Winters here are generally moderate this last one was especially so.
Me too Old Grumpy. I can’t wait for winter. We had one winter here in northern Florida when we had ice covered bushes and trees. It was glorious! That spring saw wonderful plant growth like nothing we had before. I am ready for that again.
Not me.
I’m in the upper Midwest.
We’re going to have the same weather Miami has.
Never seen that before but I’m cool with it.
So natural gas prices are through the roof. So yes, winter is going to be frigid. Murphy’s law seldom fails.
Time to hunt for my Jimmy Carter approved sweaters. Thanks, Biden!
‘Old Farmer’s Almanac’ has been around since the 1800’s. Their reputation for one surprising forecast has kept them viable even in this day & age. Without double checking my memory, I believe it was the Summer of 1813 it predicted Snow in July in New England. And it did snow.
Last year’s light winter warmer than normal prediction turned into the big TX freeze. The FA need new editors.
According to that map, Indy could be dry and cold or cold and snowy.
Pretty much par for the course in these parts.
