We are getting another cold dip tonight heading to 37 to 38F at dawn. Like an early test drive for winter. Currently at 55F and going lower.

Our low this morning was 63°f which explains why I woke up thinking about adding the comforter to the 2 cotton blankets on the bed. Tonight the low is supposed to be 75°f so I guess I can put it off. Our hghs have been in the 80's no 90's at all. It's really been quite gorgeous. It's funny but my skin is doing its 'ack winter dry is here' thing even though the humidity is 60%. I had to break out the cocoa butter because it felt like my arms and legs were going to crack.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.

69 and dropping. Highs in the 40s tomorrow.

I use Argan Oil for my dry skin. My feet are the worst and they will either itch or the skin will feel like a foot lift is happening so I put the oil on my feet almost everyday and everywhere else whenever I remember.

I might get to see some snow this weekend. I will be on the fringes of possible snow or rain this weekend up north so if I see any I will send pics. Hilarious!

Same here, Jonna. Out humidity has still been between 60 and 85% every day, but my skin still feels super dry as if we're in the dead of winter.

GOOD morning Smiling

Got up with the dogs at 3am expecting to see snow ..none .. up again at 6am ...no snow but wind has come up ..
Have looked at several online radar maps, and am stymied as to why it was thought this storm would hit us .. it has all slid north ..
that said, I have likely jinxed us Blinking

Dry skin is upon us here as well .. always kinda trippy to go around trying out new cures n creams .. we use a humidifier ..

TGIF

Feels downright amazing outside. 77F and 87% humidity. I guess the warmth and humidity got pushed down on top of us by the impending front; the calm before the storm.

Chilly morning here at 37F, sun is out now and quite calm, so hoping for that gradual warm-up to the low 60's.

This morning we had rain which has turned to snow the blizzard will miss us. This snow will not last as the ground is not frozen.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime plant a garden!

42 and still dropping. Winds are still strong today.

The bad thing about this front moving as fast as it was this morning was it made everyone at work a bit sick for awhile. We were all dealing with symptoms similar to allergies or the beginning of a cold. We figured out it was the weather when we were all having the same issues.

Record setting high today at 80 F. High tomorrow is predicted to be 58F. We will be tailgating. Then it gets interesting. From today's high till Saturday/Sunday' s low, the temperature till drop 50 degrees. We are not MN or WY guys. We are the Deep South. I am going to freeze my you know what off at tomorrow's game. We won't get home till midnight.

Probably had our last "mild" day today (mid 50s) -- big winter storm moving through most of the UP tonight/tomorrow, we will probably just get "snow showers," thankfully. I bet Lake Superior is really kicking up right now!
