Daytime highes have been well above average and nightime lows have been around freezing. 40+ degree F temperature swing from moring low to afternoon high. Also it has been very dry considering this is the rainy season.

ice wine
I loved the bit about ice wine. Always got to cover both sides of the story, eh?
If you have never had ice wine, try a bottle this weekend. Expensive but tasty.

We had a very nice day like 47F/ 8.3C and some much needed rain.
I spent all that time covering my plants and I don't think a one needs it. But I like that.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Easy trade-off IMO (yech!).If global warming means no ice wine, well, we all have to make sacrifices.
I'll take the GW.
Jubaea made a good point...same here.very dry considering this is the rainy season
No measurable rain or snow here...and snow storage in the hills is our next summer's water supply.
But the sunshine and warmish winds were lovely.

We apparently have arctic air coming in 5 or 6 days...was hoping it would stay in Siberia, or Alaska.
January can be a brutal month...

Cooling off here in another week,fine with me.......
The palms are hardened off by this time of year and usually don't see any further damage....
unless I do something stupid in spring
anyway,if it doesn't get cold in Jan/Feb we almost always pay for it in March/April.
Maybe we can sneak by without to bad a winter considering how rough the last 3 were???

A gift we'd all welcome.sneak by without to bad a winter considering how rough the last 3 were
I'm surprised at our lack of snow...a dusting here and there.
Light rain last night around midnight
Agree we'll "pay" for it...just a matter of when.

Big WEATHER NEWS in KC!! Or Not!
The news stations are all hyping up this cold blast we have coming in (the forecast is our BIGGEST HEADLINE!) and I seen more trucks with plows out today than I have noticed all winter! Everyone seems to be so excited and on edge about the forecasted 15 - 20f overnight lows and a snowfall of less than one inch expected! It is true some folks DO like winter! Back to near 60f by Sunday! What?
