A short time ago I was lamenting the winter that we were not having this year. I take it back. The current temperature is 10 degrees Fahrenheit which is our forecast high for the day and the wind is blowing a consistent 20 MPH with some gusts much higher. The snow that fell this morning as the front passed through is being swirled down the field across the street. This weather is forecast to last all week with only a few flurries to break the monotony. Below zero at night and single numbers or teens during the day. Wow winter is here with a plan to make up for lost time.
Snowing lightly this morning and warmer than it has been for a while. The noon temperature is almost 30 degrees. We are forecast to get a few inches of snow tomorrow hopefully enough to make cross country skiing possible. It would be nice to get out on my skis a few times this winter.
The winter has settled in after a stretch of very cold days it is at what I would call seasonable temperatures, Teens at night and twenties during the day. The daylight is around for almost an hour more each say so even though it is cold the days do not feel as dreary. Argy and I both commented on the pleasant afternoon light this weekend. If only we had a little more snow for some cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.
