Good Afternoon, Everyone!

I got a slow start this morning, so am just now getting back to mylot to put up a post. I did some notifications earlier while sipping on a cut of coffee. Then I took care of all the animals and tidied up in the kitchen. We have a very cloudy day on tap here, but the good news is it looks like we will miss any rain. It is also not cold, with our high today supposed to reach 61F. That is fine with me. I'll just use my happy light today and be happy indoors! The temperature will plunge later tonight with our low around 38F. We are expecting freezes Friday and Saturday nights and low 30's on Sunday night. However, the sun should be shining bright for the next 2-4 days. A warming trend will come back on Monday--YAY! Rain chances on Tuesday, but will only be a sprinkle if we get anything. However, Christmas Day is looking to be wet with a 58% chance of rain. How is your weather looking in your area? Will you have a nice and sunny day for Christmas or have rain like we are expecting?

Our temp has already started dropping and it is now in the 50's. Our low is supposed to be 38-39, but with the way it is already falling, will probably be colder!

@kareng I am grateful for this warmer climate though I miss my old acres. I sometimes think how if I still lived there I would be trapped for days cause of ice and snow on the roads.

Cold until Christmas, and then a warming trend. I imagine it will be quite warm for New Years.

I would vote for warm on New Years. Hang on...now I gotta go look at the extended forecast for New Years. Oh yeah, here too. High 60's for New Years Eve and mid 60's for New Years Day. I'll take it!

It will be in the teens for a couple of days. Christmas looks like 40 with no precipitation. Have a good weekend.

@LindaOHio Right, going to make traveling take a little longer to get to destinations. As long as we arrive safe, that is all that matters.

It was sunny this morning, and I don’t think there will be a typhoon on Christmas. :)

@kareng Yes! It is difficult to move around when it is raining, especially if you have to go out to get something for the Christmas Eve celebration.Hehe

The high on Christmas Day here will be in the mid 50s here, which is fine with me. I’d rather it be colder, but at least it won’t be 72 degrees like it was on Christmas about three years ago. I need cold weather to even out the boiling temps during spring and summer.

@AmbiePam Yes, I hear ya! The temperature is dropping here and it has been comfortable all evening here in the den. I have a small heater by my desk because there is a terrible draft coming down the hall when hits right where I am sitting. It has a thermostat on it and it has dropped a degree. I'll be heading to bed soon! I'd rather be warm and cozy in bed!

@kareng I think I’m a sucker for the idea of cozy. I get under a warm blanket on a chilly night, a cup of cocoa, and I feel a sense of peace. But admittedly, not when it gets so cold my bones hurt!

It's hot here but should be a bit cooler for Christmas Day itself which would be nice.
