Outside My Window ~ 01.06.2013
Outside my window…is the end of the first weekend of 2013. Right now at about 10:45 in the evening, we are at 38°F with cloudy skies and calm winds. Our forecast low for tonight is 35°F and tomorrow will see us with sunshine, blue skies and 48°F tomorrow. Our temperatures have been seasonal of late…days in the highs in the low to mid 40’s and lows in the low to mid 30’s. There have been rainy days this past week….I didn’t think we had received that much rain until I was working in the garden this past Saturday and realized how wet the ground still was. I was able to…

Outside My Window ~ 12.30.2012
Outside my window…is a cold and blustery day. There is sunshine….there is blue skies…but there is also northwest winds blowing at 23 mph. It is about 3:00 in the afternoon and our current temperature is at 46°F…factor in the wind and it feels like 38°F. A bit brisk outside. We had quite a bit of rain the day after Christmas and again yesterday but today has been dry, humidity is even quite low at 33%. We are forecast to dip down to 29°F this evening….might be a good night for a fire. I am thinking…about so many things recently….the events of the past year…what the new year will bring. I…

Outside My Window ~ 12.23.2012
Outside my window…is the closing hours of the last weekend before Christmas ~ and a rather chilly one at that. There were cooler temperatures and wind which made it seem all the more colder. When I went out to walk the dog this morning it was 27°F with wind. There was frost everywhere…as close to snow as we will probably get this year for the holidays. Currently at 10:00 in the evening we are at 47°F. The forecast low this evening is 41°F with temperatures dropping into the mid 30’s with mostly cloudy skies by early morning. Our high for Christmas Eve will just hit 50°F with rain beginning around…

Outside My Window ~ 12.16.2012
Outside my window…is another Sunday evening winding down. We are 9 days away from Christmas….15 days away from 2013…or if you are one of the believer’s of the doomsday prediction, 5 days left. Either way, this year has flown by…and at the same time, it seems like it has lasted forever. So much has happened…..so much still happening in both the entire world and in my little part of the world. And I hesitate to think what a year ending with 13 will bring….do you believe 13 is an unlucky number? And if so, what kind of year will it be? Something to ponder I think. If we make it…

Outside My Window ~ 12.09.2012
Outside my window…is a lot darker than when I originally intended on publishing this. My plan was to do this a lot earlier in the day…..my plan did not come to fruition. So we will work with what we have right now. It is about 6:30 in the evening, partly cloudy skies with a current temperature of 55°F. Our high today was 67°F and it appears as if we are currently at our forecast low for the evening. Tomorrow morning will see a chance for showers and a high of 70°F. We will dip back down into the low 50’s on Tuesday and stay in the low to mid 50’s for…

Outside My Window ~ 11.25.2012
Outside my window..is a beautiful albeit chilly day. We had blue skies, sunshine and very brisk temperatures today. During my first dog walk at 7:45 this morning, it was 28°F….four hours later it was 39°F. Fortunately the winds are calm, unlike yesterday. I don’t believe it was this chilly, but it was cold….and windy. Our forecast high today was 47°F. Tonight will be chilly once again at 33°F. If you are to believe the forecast it looks as if Monday will be our warmest day at 58°F, the rest of the week will be much like today….easing into winter it appears. I don’t mind a few good hard frosts to…

Outside My Window ~ 11.18.2012
Outside my window…is a cold and windy evening. The day started out with blue skies but windy and cool…the clouds moved in and it ended with gray skies, windy and cold. Right now we are about 54°F and the winds are at 16 mph with gusts up to 23 mph. There is a coastal flood advisory in effect until 10:00 tomorrow morning. No rain this weekend but there is some forecast for around midnight tonight with our low temperatures a couple of degrees cooler than we are right now. Tomorrow will be about the same as today, a high in the mid 50’s and lows in the mid 40’s. Thanksgiving…

Outside My Window ~ 11.11.2012
Outside my window…is the closing hours on a fabulous weekend in Southeast Virginia. You couldn’t ask for two better days this weekend ~ blue skies, sunshine and mild temperatures. We are expecting rain by Tuesday and more seasonal temperatures. At 10:00 this evening it is 57°F with clear skies and little to no wind. Temperatures are suppose to stay around the mid 50’s all night and back up into the low 70’s tomorrow. I am thinking…those folks in the Northeast have probably had enough weather for a long while. On top of the weather woes they have to deal with long lines for gas….if they can find any. I imagine…

Outside My Window ~ 11.4.2012
Outside my window…is another cloudy Sunday. Fortunately there is no rain in the forecast however we are expecting another nor’easter to develop off the North Carolina coast this coming week. It is not expected to be near the strength Sandy was but it will be enough of a nuisance with the cold winds and rain…rain we really don’t need at this point. There are areas that are still quite saturated from the storm last week. At 8:00 this evening we are currently at 39°F with calm winds. We are basically at our forecast low for the night. I probably should have brought some of my plants back into the house…

Outside My Window ~ 10.28.2012
Outside my window…is a dreary, rainy, windy, chilly, miserable morning. Yup, I think that about covers it. We are awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Sandy sometime tomorrow but because the storm is so huge, we are getting a taste of what is to come for now. The rain started late yesterday afternoon….the wind began about that time too. It rained all night….not torrential downpours, just a steady rain…and the wind really picked up the pace sometime in the early morning hours. Right now, at 9:00 Sunday morning, it is 59°F and the winds are at 19 mph, gusting to 32 mph from the northeast. The front that moved across the…
