Eight inches of snow fell last night. I'll take all I can get. - Millet

Millet, your winter name here should be Snowman
I like snow, but shoveling can get to be too much sometimes. Street parking only can be a real pain too -- no garage

If it would mean getting some serious soil moisture out of it I'd take all the snow I could get too! Our weather has been great for working outside, but it's getting so dry now that I've had to go back to irrigating.

Still no frost here and I am north of the 49th parallel. Well, we have had light surface frost but nothing below freezing. My Bananas still have their leaves which is a record for me... they are usually wrapped by Halloween. We have no snow on the mountains either No skiing, no snowshoeing...

Hey Greg ... you gotta believe we can't get away with this much longer. Old man winter is bound to show his ugly face. Pretty much a guarantee in January at some point if not sooner.

Cheers, Barrie.

Between +40F and +20F in my part of Norway. In the greenhouse +10F.

freezing rain and 32f

A couple nights ago, we walked through frozen fog around the neighborhood. I didn't know fog can feeze. It is very odd feeling as it strikes your face, and you can see the glistening tiny particles of ice. And your breath cracks a little bit. First time we had encountered such.

Anyway temperatures ran 28 deg F during frozen fog. For the past 4 days, our minimum were 30,28,29,30. I am not worried, my plants have hardened, since it was gentle decline.

Back in 1965 when we first moved from San Pedro to Merced, we made a trip to Modesto for holiday shopping in December and in thick, very dense [how dense?, couldn't see the front end of the car while riding inside it], Tule fog, we had three inch thick icicles develop on the car antennae before we ever got to Modesto from Merced. A real opener at the time for a young, predominately, city raised lad.

Well done point to mention that many of our trees have hardened some with the slow degradation in cooler temperatures. We had our first frost here back around the second week of November but have only had a couple light frosts since, including the last two days, even with some fog this morning. With the denser fog this morning this far along in the “North Valley” all the way up to Sacramento it seems, now makes it unclear for now, will determine early tomorrow morning, whether I (we) will attend the Lindcove Citrus tasting or not but we are planning on being there.
