Not even near 40 out this morning. Not bad for end of December but since we have been having these crazy heat spells it makes today feel like an ice cube out there. Shrug!

It is 42 here right now and we did freeze again last night just do not know how low. Shrug! It has definitely been feeling like an ice cube here the last few days, Rita!

It got down to 31F last night. Today they are calling for a high of 57F. We might actually get some rain next week but it is too early to trust the forecast.

Ice is coming down right now and we are under a winter storm watch until 9pm. I sure hope everyone drives safely.

It is hot and muggy today. I think low 80s. We had some rain last night which is why the high humidity today. Miserably hot outside and A/C is running constantly.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.

No. Usually 70s or even high 60s. Too hot. Wished it was cooler so I could work outside in comfort.

Very unusual for you.

Tomorrow and starting overnight it is supposed to rain here. So I walked with my dog for over 4 miles today as I figure we will not be able to tomorrow. We both hate being out in the rain.

Today was miserable outside. I dashed out without a hat to put a letter in the mailbox. Big mistake. Instant headache as soon as I got back inside. I suppose winter is now here. Sighing!

We had sleet for several hours last night but it eventually turned into rain. No rain expected today but sure looks dreary out.

@quietyard Not sure what the temp was -- in the 40s somewhere, but windy, too. I hate the wind. It is 34 this morning and if I can help it, I'm not going out, but if I do, I will wear a hat! Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!

No rain Kelli, but at least your not suffering in the heat.
