Outside My Window ~ 1.23.10
Outside My Window…at 8:15 this evening is a dark and extremely cold night. We are currently at 26°F with a wind chill of 19°F….our forecast low is 16°F. C-O-L-D has been the forecast this winter for most of the country. I believe even Florida has experienced its share of frosty days and night. I also read that a good deal of the country has already experienced its annual snowfall. People are snow weary and we still have a couple of months of winter left. Brrrrr! I am enjoying a nice fire in my fireplace at the moment. I took a little nap in front of a fire last night in my hammock rocking chair last night….I usually have no problems napping in it, but the fire made it…

Outside My Window ~ 1.16.11
Outside My Window…is cold and dark. At 8:45 p.m. it is 34°F but feels like 29°F. Cold….cold….cold….every day….Cold. I shouldn’t complain too much because we aren’t buried under snow and ice…we have had lots of sunshine and our temperatures are hovering around average….Cold. It doesn’t help that I got my sticker shock electric bill a few days ago for the last month. I literally gasped when I saw how much it was. I keep my house a little cooler than most….my youngest complains about being cold all the time….we put on sweat pants and long sleeves. I can’t even imagine how much it would have been if I had the…

Outside My Window ~ 1.9.2011
Outside My Window…is cold and dark at 7:15 p.m.. The temperature right now is about 30°F with a wind chill of 24°F. We had a beautiful day today albeit cold and windy…my wind chimes sang to me the entire day. Tonight will be clear and cold…a low of 23°F actual temperature, I’m not sure if there will be much wind to lower it that much more. If you read the post yesterday you are aware of the very weird weather we were having. It was so odd…sunshine, clouds, snow, sunshine….all in a matter of a couple of hours. There is another winter storm forecast to move through our area Monday night and…

Outside My Window ~ 1.2.2011
Outside My Window…is heavy rain and gray skies. At 11:00 this morning, we have a temperature of 57°F….and after weeks of brrrr chilly weather, that feels quite toasty outside. I took the outside Christmas lights down this morning….fortunately before the rains came. The snow had finally melted off of the bushes so I could see where they were. It is amazing what a difference a week can make…last Sunday at this time there was heavy snow, white out conditions and a temperature of 28°F….today I’m walking around outside in sandals and short sleeves before the rain came. And rain….yea, we can use that after the 14 inches of snow we got…

Outside My Window ~ 12.26.10
Outside My Window…snow, snow and more snow! What began as a White Christmas yesterday afternoon has turned into quite an event today. It has been snowing since about 3:30 yesterday but very hard since early this morning. It looks as if the neighborhood trees have all been flocked with several inches of powdery, white snow. I can’t see my front steps…it is quite deep outside. The Weather Channel estimates we have about 6 1/2 inches right now ~ I think locally there may be more around here. I do live in the rain/snow/ice belt of the peninsula so that is a possibility. When I say I live in the rain/snow/ice belt it means…

Outside My Window ~ 12.19.10
Outside My Window…is cold, cloudy, windy and no snow. Bonus points on the no snow ~ the nor’easter they feared would potentially bring a good bit of snow to our area ended up tracking too far off the coast. We still have some on the ground from our last snowfall, not much but still some white here and there. Our temperature at 12:45 today is 36°F but with the winds feels like 26°F. We are quite close to our forecast high of 38°F for the day and the sun is expected to make an appearance….tonight will be quite cold again at 22°F. The week looks pretty much the same as today with our…

Outside My Window ~ 12.12.10
Outside My Window…is a dark and rainy night. Sounds like the beginning to a horror story I know…but it is what it is. The temperature at 7:00 this evening is about 53°F but we are expected to drop down to around 31°F tonight. The high tomorrow won’t be much over tonight’s low and the rest of the week staying quite cold. The temperatures were quite pleasant for the most part this weekend but we have received quite a bit of rain. How about some of the snow totals so far this year though! Yikes ~ I’m quite happy I don’t live in an area that suffers lake effect snow. Those folks…

Outside My Window ~ 12.5.10
Outside My Window…at 6:45 this evening is 36°F, feels like 30°F. Our forecast low for tonight is 27°F……brrrr. It has been rather chilly these past few days. It snowed last night ~ not so much, only about 1/4 of an inch…but snow all the same. Unfortunately I have been under the weather the past few days so I didn’t get out early this morning to capture an image of the snow before it all melted. It was a beautiful day today albeit a chilly and windy one. It will continue to be cold throughout the next week…guess winter is here to stay. I am thinking…that I’m way over feeling bad and want…

Outside My Window ~ 11.28.10
Outside My Window…is dark and chilly. Currently at 8:00 p.m., the temperature is 34°F….no wind so there is no wind chill to factor in. Today was a nice day albeit a chilly one. Also outside my window are the Christmas lights decorating our window, shrubs and tree out front. It was a bit brisk while putting them out but I managed to stay warm with all the moving around. I do have a couple of shrubs that are without lights…two strands were not working so they will need to be replaced. I can’t quite figure out how they were working when I put them away and not working when I unpack…

Outside My Window ~ 11.21.10
Outside My Window…is another beautiful day in the neighborhood. 🙂 At 12:20 p.m., we have already hit our forecast high temperature of 62°F with a light wind, sunshine and blue skies. Forecast today is for the temperature to drop down to about 55°F by six with mid to low 40’s tonight. For the rest of the week, very nice until Thursday when they are predicting a few showers. Folks waiting in line at the ungodly hours that stores open on black Friday may get wet with showers and wind forecast for that day. I will not be shopping on Friday although I may take my oldest daughter in to work again. …
