Funny...you do get acclimated to the temps here. 100 is no big deal, and 60 does feel a bit chilly. Right now it says 61...feels like 73 (in the sun). I just picked my daughter from her high school chorus practice it was 9 outside. Sadly, that's the highest it's going to be through Tuesday.  |

We’re starting a warming trend with days in the thirties (even some high thirties) and nights around 10 or so. I didn’t think I’d see temps that high again until March… |

We had a fairly cold stretch the past couple weeks, but it’s still been a fairly mild winter for this area. The coldest night has been about -5. This area had a history of mountain cold inversions around -40. The main thing has been lower winds than usual. I’m thinking the winds will howl soon. Where Ruth’s sister lives just north of Spokane it was -17 this morning… |

Most of her family is still there, so we go back frequently. I've been there when the weather is as you just referred to...even more brutal when "The Hawk" is blowin'. I'm used to serious winters, having lived in Colorado for many years and up in The Adirondacks for several years. I keep a snow shovel hanging in my garage as a reminder every time I start to betch about the heat here. |

Friends of ours got tired of the dry climate and moved to the Arkansas/Missouri border. Now, they struggle with the humidity… I've lived, or spent significant time, in every part of this country. Every place has its good & bad. I think the only "perfect" place, weather wise, is San Diego...but who can afford to live there. I do like changing seasons...to a point. The good thing about here is if we want Fall/Winter weather Northern AZ and The White Mountains are a 2 hour drive away. Flagstaff is at 7000', and much of the area is Colorado-like. Being retired, we can get out of the summer heat for periods when & if we want, which is when we take our road trips. |

Now we're getting a bunch of wind and snow and now ice cold temps. It's days like this that make me wonder why I'm not living in San Diego. |

I love this weather without the snow and ice; otherwise...Let's go to the islands, where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilings... |

Out where we lived before here in Pueblo West it’s gonna be windy and 10-12 degrees the next two days. Where Ruthie’s sister is, northeast of Spokane it was -17 this morning with a high of 2 today… |

This looks like a good place to jump back in from An Undisclosed Location somewhere in the Peloponnesian Peninsula. What I can tell you is that there are repeated warnings about "destructive cold" as daytime highs have only been reaching into the 50s Fahrenheit (I do a lot of quick x9/5 +32 calculations) and lows have hit into the 30s, which they are not used to. Still, in the yard of the house we are renting, oranges, lemons and grapefruit are in peak form and the owner told us to take as many as we want.
Of course we're having a great time. It would be our own fault if we weren't. Will write when I find work. Fire Cashman. That is all.
