The weather is awesome for this time of year.

Wasn't too long ago I was lamenting the arrival of winter.

Snow along with colder temps. Yuck.

There isn't much to do in the flatland to try to enjoy winter.

Well, for the last couple of days it has been unseasonably warm. Highs in the 40's here in north central Iowa.

Snow is almost gone. My 9 year old is bummed but I am loving it.

Hopefully it's nice where you are.

so you're pro-global warming?

One of the cooler Novembers and early Decembers in NorCal. Not too many low records but there have been more days of frost on the lawn and windshield than I can remember. It is also starting to look like a drought year, we might have to start thinking about rationing if the pineapple express does not start making some deliveries.

Low 40s in Southern WI, taking advantage of the weather and am having new rain gutters installed today. I was born in Chicago and live in Wisconsin now, plenty of snowy winters in my past but I still don't like them. Not sure why I don't live somewhere warmer.

It's sunny but cool here today on the northern California coast. It was 28º with heavy frost when I got up this morning (doesn't usually get much colder than that). Today's high is supposed to be 51º.

I don't ever recall another Fall with this many beautiful weekends ( although last weekend was a little cold), nor this many "Indian Summers".

One long range forecast predicts a milder than usual Winter for the Northeast and for all the oil burners I hope it is so. (Everyone, really but oil burners especially)

[mrbigstuff]

I read somewhere that 90% of Maine households heat with oil. the whole state economy teeters when the price of oil rises dramatically.

Can't complain, it's 45^o with off and on little showers in southern Indiana, more rain predicted for the next several days. I mowed the lawn yesterday and raked up most of the remaining leaves very nice day. I know too well about those usually cold snowy December days up near Waterloo, Iowa. The pheasant hunting was always great in that area years ago.

We're at 37F. 12 degrees above our old normal average high.

Yeah, my kid got smart and decided (his junior year of HS) to move to California.

We're in Wisconsin, and we say "Global Warming? Sure. Bring it on!" (Sorry, polar bears, and most of the people in the world, too ... but our toes are cold)
