This is our first true artic blast of the winter season, and the season doesn't officially begin until tomorrow! The cold weather will be short lived however, with temps recovering into the 30's tomorrow, and into the 50's by Wednesday and Thursday! Along with the warmer temperatures comes the threat of rain on Thursday. That's all right with me though, anything is better than what we experienced here today. We didn't receive much in the way of snow last night, basically around an inch area wide. But I had to really bundle up when I walked out the door, the fact that the winds were in the 20 to 30mph range didn't help matters any.

December 17th, 2004---: For a while it was looking like we could experience a significant snowfall on Monday, now it's looking like we'll only see light accumulations (at least for now). The low pressure system should stay far enough off the coast that we'll only see some fringe affects in NYC. Hopefully this holds true... On the temperature side of things, that's another story. Temps Sunday night/Monday morning will drop to around 20 degrees! And on Monday, they most likely will not rise out of the 20's. The artic blast is forecast to be short lived with temperatures rebounding into the 40's by the middle of the week.

December 12th, 2004---: I guess it couldn't last forever...the relatively mild weather of the past few weeks that is. It looks like we're in store for our first real cold snap of the season. Temps this upcoming week will average below normal, with Tuesday and Wednesday looking to be the coldest as it stands right now. At least we made it through all of November and half of December without any snow or really cold weather.
