I wish.  It's still in the upper 70's here.  Doesn't feel much like Christmas.

Little flurries here. Maybe a couple inches coming in Tuesday. Hopefully enough to disguise the brown snow banks.

I’m excited, Christmas Day is going to be 50 + degrees! I hate a white Christmas 🎄🤪

70s here later this week.  I guess I'll get those gaskets replaced on the fireplace doors.

28 degrees at 4:15 am, almost 65 right now.  No snow, slight overcast over the mountains to the NW.

Wow 28 to 65? That’s a huge spread, I guess the desert gets cold at night!

Happens here a lot.  We're about a mile high and get wind bringing in weather from all four directions, sometimes several times in a single day....and yes, the desert does shed heat at night.  Places with forests and woods not so much, but places with little plant life to capture some of the heat, it flows away.

Greetings from balmy Front Range Colorado. I like "White Christmas". Have a copy of it on a VHS tape, and will probably watch it, time permitting! Really not so much about Christmas as about two Army buddies trying to help their retired WWII CO keep his hotel going because there is no snow to attract skiers.    Great music and dancing.

A 30 degree temperature spread is normal in the desert. Here in Tucson it was about 50 this morning. Todays high is supposed to be 84.

In the Summer, when our highs get to over 100, the morning temperatures are still 70s.

Summer is coming!

And it's supposed to be even warmer later on this week with somewhat cooler weather next week. Meh, it's Florida.
