Only dropped to 46 this morning, they say the expected high is 50, no real rain in the 10 day forecast.
Man are we jinxing ourselves!
PA. Woodsman - that thunderstorm was kinda weird last night. I heard it while I was sitting in the house and thought - Seriously? A thunderstorm on the Winter Solstice? Then it rained like heck.
Today, we set the record for the wettest year ever... (since 1878). 54 degrees here today too...
Pa woodsman...I have to thank you for jinxing us
I remember when I lived in Ohio thru the 80's. I got stuck 6 times before I finally surrendered to the mud and stopped trying to drive in the fields out there. Here near the coast rain doesn't stop us cuz of the sandy soil. Was like spring here today- beautiful. It's 49 degrees right now, first day of winter. Unreal...... But rain tomorrow. Still we'll take it anyday!This super mild weather has been great for me. I had 2 fair size roof jobs that I didn't think I was gonna get done this year. Just finished up the last one yesterday.
I have a month long inside project at a factory to start Jan 4th. The weather can do whatever it wants now.
Biggest problem I have is not being able to get to the woods due to the rain and mud. Need to get those saws running again.
I hear ya.
It's creeping me out. We started Pruning when the ground temp got to 45, and then it warmed up again, so we have stopped.
Mud up to the ankles from all the snow melting, and it just plain sucks.
I hate to say it, but every time we get a warm December like this, it's just the Manitou taking a little longer to wind up and start the annual war, with a couple of bigger than usual hits. It ain't over 'till June..and those forecasters are all clueless.
I just hope we can get the temps down and freeze up all this dadgum mud.
Stay safe!

Strewth! Two years ago December was like this one, almost springlike, then February just wasted us. Major snowstorms back to back to back, ice dams on gutters everywhere, lots of water damage, lots of gutters torn right off.
Indian Summer down here in Floridaaaah
