Where's all the winter at? Can someone send some winter my way? I'll take even alittle bit of winter, anything you got. Here it is almost mid December and we have 60s and rain in the forecast. Hoping it gets cold soon here in central Illinois.

Ok rant over.
 
I could happily live with this clear until May. But I think January and February have a few surprises in store for us.
 
Not winter yet
sorry you have to wait until December 22

So much for the Farmer's Almanac. Might as well use its pages for starting fires.

I keep it in the bathroom. Not for reading...
 
It was 55F here yesterday. Normally it is 10F this time of the year. Unreal warm. That being said, some Snow for CHristmas is likely. Thank Goodness. A cold winter with NO snow sucks.

PS. However, a warm winter with no snow wouldn't be too bad!
 
Looks like the East is going to cook. Some of the computer models are showing t-shirts and shorts weather for Christmas.

We are looking at high 40s to 50s this week. Only one day down in the 30s. Over night temps start to go down though. I think I will be relighting the boiler this week and just tough it out through the warmer days.

It will be cold soon. *fingers crossed*
 
I only lit my stove once this season so far... natgas is just to cheap to bother until it gets down to the 30s. At this rate I might not use it much until Jan, thats just nuts.
 
Snowed a bit overnight ... most of it melted today. Not a fan of -40/-50 but this is just bizarre!
 
Current forecast...

Christmas Eve 68F
Christmas Day 63F


I am going to have to open the windows while the roast is cooking or else we are going to cook.

ugh :(
 
Looks like it will be in the 30's here and dare I say it? Looks like a 40% chance of a little snow. A dusting of snow would be a nice touch and quite rare for here on Christmas.
 
We have 10 inches of snow on the ground. Normally we have 3 feet!

It is mild but it is going to cool off this week. They are forecasting -18C Monday night. That being said , I think this is the mildest winter (fall technically) that I can remember.....

86" of compacted snow currently at the relatively low Snoqualamie Pass.
 
Things can keep going the way they are here. I'm good with it.

Just cleaned the ashes out of the PE, cleaned the boost baffle, cleaned the glass (both sides :) , and am getting ready to Lexoil the unit, let it sit over night, then wipe it down in the morning.

I am also calling my firewood guy to get more in here, just to be on the safe side.

:mad:
 
We got almost foot of snow today so far. Nice for a white Christmas.
 
Looks like New England will start chilling starting tomorrow night. In the meantime, here is Leavenworth WA yesterday.
