Our deal was that the power would rarely go out, even in the freakest of bad weather, but when it did it took FOREVER to fix it.

Anyway, the fucking weather here in North Georgia is SHITE and I hate it and I can't wait to leave.

We had four straight days of wet, dismal, freezing, blustery weather. Wind chills put the index down in the mid twenties.

Today though is sunny and crisp, perfect fall weather. I even opened the windows this afternoon.

So have hope. Give it a couple of days and it will be happy again.

It's 49ºF here now. It's supposed to get just above freezing tomorrow, so this is the one-day warming trend.

We had a very light dusting of snow an equally light coating of ice this morning. You know all those signs that say bridges are icier? They aren't kidding, as I found out this morning when I nearly slid into the back of a bus. I thought he was just slowing to make the turn, as the light was green as we approached, but for some reason he stopped, I slid and I'm very grateful there was no one next to me and two lanes in that direction.

Demi is wise, as usual. It's cold and windy out, but I'm inside so I can't tell. All I know is it's sunny.

Strange, the weather here has been almost identical to that described by Demi.

Right now, it's changing. It's been unseasonably dry and clear, which has meant low overnight temps and heavy frost, but very decent daytime weather. Today it looks to be clouding over and from the weather forecasters we're getting intimations of snow come Monday.

I've been complaining that it's been too warm lately, so Jesus made it 7 right now, -4 windchill, and getting colder overnight.

I really need to go downstairs and get my winter coat.

The cold struck today...24 F overnight (like -4 C, I think), down here on the valley floor, still subfreezing during the daytime. Cold for here. Clear and sunny. The real question is, "will the transition back to normal weather include very inclement precipitation...ice?"

Very windy here. :windy: A gust of 140 MPH was recorded - though that was on top of a Scottish mountain. But there have been gusts of over 100 MPH down near sea level. Where I live it's only about 50 MPH right now. :crossed:

Quite windy down south too, cep. Nothing near as bad as in Scotland though.

A few thousand people on the Essex coast have been evacuated as they are expecting the biggest storm surge for decades.

They're calling for highs in the mid-70s over the next few days here, so of course I plan to run off to Calgary over the weekend.

As usual, Oxford remains isolated from all forms of weather except rain.

You won't see many brass monkeys hanging out around here today or all the way until next week, at least any that still have balls.

It's been a balmy (for December) 70:degrees:F the last day or so. And now here's the rain to put a stop to that.

Wintry weather a-comin' tomorrow, they say. I hope they get it wrong. Again.

Would it be gauche of me to gloat about my hardcore cold weather acclimation to all you hothouse flowers? God, I hope so.

So I was all cold last night and stuff, and then I got up this morning, went outside and assumed it had warmed up significantly because I was pretty comfortable in just an unlined wool coat. Didn't feel the need to get a scarf or hat or gloves or anything.

NOPE. It was three below, dunno about windchill. While I was sleeping, I just auto-adjusted, and now I am properly acclimated. HA HA.
