Well it's slightly warmer today, a high of 8F at 1 PM, the winds are still a bit gusty though and blowing the previous snowfall into drifts. Just started a bit of light snow falling at 6 PM.
I sure hope Santa brings some reasonably cold weather back soon.

Well the Denali did wonderful today. I
It gave us in Portland Oregon -6c/20f temperatures, freezing rain, sleet, snow and inch of ice on the roads yesterday. Today was 0c/32f so all the stuff from the day before was still on the roads. Made for very good tips as a pizza delivery guy. Boy did I ever make a good choice of getting my Denali. In 4wheel drive it absolutely plowed thru like it was only raining.
Today
Rain. High near 61. South wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.

...HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO
4 AM PST TUESDAY...
* WHAT...South winds 30 to 40 mph with gusts up to 75 mph
expected. Strongest winds typically occur across exposed ridges
and coastal headlands.
* WHEN...From 7 PM this evening to 4 AM PST Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Damaging winds will blow down trees and power lines.
Widespread power outages are expected. Travel will be
difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around
trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of
your home during the windstorm, and avoid windows. Use caution if
you must drive.
YUP, almost guaranteed we'll have power outages.
On Tuesday we have this high surf advisory:
* WHEN...From 6 AM to 11 PM PST Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous surfing conditions and localized beach
erosion. Beachcombing is highly discouraged.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Large breaking waves along the coast will lead to increased wave
run-up on beaches with waves topping and washing over large rocks
and jetties. These large waves can be erratic and unpredictable.
Use extra caution near the surf zone as these large waves will be
capable of sweeping people into the frigid and turbulent ocean
water. Mariners traversing the bar are urged to exercise extreme
caution or stay in port until the threat subsides. Please contact
the U.S. Coast Guard for information regarding harbor and bar
closures.
No agate hunting for us

Went to the beach for Christmas
Sadly as of tonight's news, nearly 60 people have passed from this storm
Hello; This is late Monday evening the26th. Expected to get above freezing sometime tomorrow. Not sure how cold it got here but I saw close to zero F on my outside thermometer. TVA broke all time power generation records during the area cold spell.
Hope the numbers are to be low when the total death count comes in.

After a late start to summer it’s now a scorching 37C here in Melbourne, crazy to think how different the weather is in other parts of the world right now.
Just saw on the news our minimum overnight temperature will be 26C.
I’m not really a fan of hot weather especially at night, much cosier n winter instead of uncomfortable heat and sweat until the old alarm clock goes off

Power went out at 11:43 last night. They expect to have the power restored by 4 am tomorrow. We had a 21 hr outage and a 4 hr outage last week. Unfortunately, when we built the addition, I had 8 circuit breakers dedicated to the equipment room. We have slowly added the bedrooms and other areas in the old part of the house to the system. Haven't been successful in contacting the person who did the electrical - I want to add the stove and oven to the system. Even though there was higher winds and gusts in town, the power is on in town. I bought a microwave oven and a hot plate from Home Depot and Walmart which I have to pick up. I refuse to be inconvenienced any further by outages. In 33 yrs in this area, I have never had so many outages. It truly feels as if things have changed, and we cannot rely on the power grid.
The usually gorgeous river below our house is angry looking.
