That sounds like when thewarm front rolled through las week ahead of the cold front. The temp hit 70 degrees at midnight and the wind hit 60 mph. No tornados though here so we count those blessings! Then the next day it went down to freezing for a little while. Today a high of 35 with flurries.
 
Last weekend we bhad the same thing here in Ct., 3" of rain in 12
hours, winds up to 64 miles an hour. We got lucky and didnt have to
fire up the generator though.

Was a balmy 59*F yesterday and will get up to 58*F or more today...love those South winds....keep sending us that nice weather guys!!!!
But....the winds are suppose to shift...possible snow flurries on Friday and very cold by Sunday...love'd the above normal temps while they lasted.
Wish I would have gotten the outdoor Christmas stuff out during the nice weather, but wasn't motivated when you are in shirt sleeves...will wait for a nasty day so it will seem more normal....and suffer.
 
Our weather for tomorrow looks bad with temps in the 50's andheavy rain and wind from acoastal storm...up to 3" of rain in some areas!

Yikes!!!That takes the fun out of it....
We would be Thankful to get 3 inches of rain...send some this way, we need it.
Have a great Thanksgiving, despite the nasty weather!!!
 
NW, we northerners know it's difficult to cold stabilize outside when the temps are in the 70s!

I'm right around the corner from Masta and will be getting all that weather to. More water in my basement. UGGGGGGG!
 
This is the second season I'm wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!!! It has been a great couple of years getting to know all of you and sharing our wine making experiences as well as other areas of our lives.


Enjoy the Day!!!!!With your family and friends!!!

The winds have changed...the North winds have brought Winter to the Northern Plains.

The ground is blanketed with fresh fluffy snow, insulating it from the frigid night....

Tonight the Cold December Moon is glistening on the snow...it is sparkling like diamonds.

The air so clean and fresh, takes your breathe away, or is it the sight of the millions of stars in the cold black sky....The night is calm, only the sounds of the woods, trees cracking from the cold, the mournful sound of an Owl off in the night...

Clear, Cold and Calm.....The Earth is resting under it's sparkling blanket of snow, the moon illuminating it to the point of brightness...another season is making it's debut.... Edited by: Northern Winos
 
Our weather had been so far above normal for the past months, records were broken everyday for awhile...then instead of a traditional New Years Blizzard we had rain and then rain again...everything is covered with ice....

We have been wearing our 'Ice Creepers'...rubber stretch on soles that fit over your boots that have steel studs in them...we can walk anywhere we want when wearing them...they might even be fashionable to wear to town....Saw two ladies in a store comparing their wrist casts, both had fallen on the ice.

Now we are going to get a slap of reality, an Arctic air mass is about to descend onto us...by tomorrow night we will be lucky to get above 0*F for a few days....time to play winemaker and feed the fire.

Tonight we were blessed with a lovely pastel colored sunset, very soft and gentle....The winds of change will hit tomorrow and the Arctic winds will blow....so it goes on the Northern Plains.

Only one thing to do in that weather(well maybe 2

)- curl up next to that stove or fireplace and pop a cork on one of your favorites to stay warm!

A winter storm has finally brought some snow to the Northern Plains...a fresh blanket of snow has covered the frozen Earth, it will keep the soil from blowing in the wind....

The days are longer now, the sun sets are moving to the North, the suns rays are warmer and the seasons will once again change...a promise of spring...perhaps.

But the winds have many secrets...another winter storm awaits on the horizon....the Earth must sleep awhile longer...
