We've got a couple of days of cool(ish) weather to suffer before it warms back up... looks like 10°-15° above the normal (or average) for the next 10-days or so.
Yeah... this is all about what looks to become the strongest El Niño on record.
Here it is, December 1st, and we have zero frozen ground... heck some of the grass is still bright green. I ain't lit a fire in the shop yet, the overhead doors are open when I'm out there. The last couple days of rain has made my driveway is a swamp, the woodlot a muddy mess, and the yard so soft you dare not drive on it. The National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center has even upped the chances will stay well above normal (or average) through February. This could actually be one of those years when we don't see sub-zero temps... or if we do it will only be an occasional morning low slightly below.
Heck, I didn't even put any firewood in the box this morning, it was near 40° outside when I rolled out.
I may have actually put too much firewood in the basement this year.
