Outside My Window ~ 1.30.12
Outside my window…is a chilly 41°F at close to 11:00 in the evening. I’m constantly amazed at how time flies when you are at home…crawls when you are at work. I was doing some work at home this evening ~ photography related ~ but time doesn’t crawl when I doing that type of work. Sigh. We have had one of the strangest winters I can remember in a long time…but I got snow from Colorado in the mail the other day. Yes, snow….in the mail…I’ll show you one day soon. 🙂 I am thinking about…what made me believe that I could eat chicken wings and work on this post this…

Outside My Window ~ 1.22.2012
Outside my window…is a cold and cloudy night. Currently at about 9:30 this evening we are at 37°F….our forecast low tonight is one degree colder than the current temperature. I have a nice little fire burning in the fireplace to take the chill off the house. My youngest daughter would like me to crank up the heat however I would rather have a nice fire than pay the power company that much more each month. I am thinking about…how spoiled we have been this past winter. Today my youngest daughter and I went out to run errands…we complained about how cold it was as if we had been experiencing this…

Outside My Window ~ 1.15.2012
Outside my window…is a pretty chilly night. Right now…about 9:00 in the evening….we are at 27°F….chilly. No wind to speak of and clear skies….part of the reason we are so cold is because there is no cloud cover. Today was clear, blue skies and sunshine….and chilly. I decided to have a fire this evening…one of the things that attracted me to my house was the fireplace with an insert….the old school kind that requires wood. I can close the doors, flip a switch and the heat generated will drive you straight out of the room. I would rather leave the doors open with the screen closed though….I like to gaze…

Outside My Window ~ 1.8.2012
Outside my window…is the sun setting on another winter afternoon…..wait is it really winter? Let’s see, yesterday we had a high of around 67°F…today we reached 53°F….looks like tomorrow will be about 50°F {with rain} and then back to 60°F on Tuesday. The weather has been like a roller coaster with fair days and cold nights…but it still doesn’t feel like winter to me. The nor’easters have not come like normal….there has been no snow….no chilly rains…kind of weird. Add to the fact that most of the lower 48 is snow free makes it feel even less like winter. I know there is still plenty of winter left so I’m…

Outside My Window ~ 1.2.2012
Outside my window…is on the way to a chilly night. We are currently at 35°F at about 10:30 this evening with a forecast low of 28°F. Tomorrow the forecast calls for winds at 19 mph and a forecast high of 38°F ~ which I’m betting it won’t feel that warm if the winds are blowing that hard. It was quite chilly and windy today as I took down the outside Christmas lights. All decorations are down now and up in the attic with the exception of the tree. I still have to get that put away but decided enough was enough this evening. Our temperature this week will gradually build…

Outside My Window ~ 12.26.2011
Outside my window…the day after Christmas is bright sunshine, blue skies and chilly. Right now we are at 49°F with winds at 15 mph ~ gusting to 24 mph. It is a beautiful day. The picture above was taken a year ago today. Last year we woke up to snow….lots of it too. It was fabulous….no place to go, snuggled inside with a nice fire going….I kind of miss it this year. Last year was a different season for a lot of us in regards to snow on the ground. It appears as if we won’t be approaching average snow levels in many parts of the country unless the winter…

Outside My Window ~ 12.18.2011
Outside my window…is nightfall in Hampton Roads. We are currently at 31°F with clear skies…forecast low is 30°F. Cold. Tomorrow is another story with a forecast high of 56°F and sunshine but it will get cold again tomorrow evening. There is no snow in the forecast…chance of rain on Christmas day, but no snow. It appears as if we are not the only ones who won’t have a white Christmas. So maybe the mountains of snow received last year were actually some of this years snow? Would seem so…places that usually have received quite a bit by this time of the season have received only a trace so far this…

Outside My Window ~ 12.11.2011
Outside my window…is a pretty frosty evening as we are closing in on 9:00 p.m.. We are currently at 33°F, which is also our forecast low for the evening. Today was sunshine and blue skies but fairly cool with only a high of 45°F. We will gradually build our way up to a high of 60°F by Thursday. I noticed on the weather channel the past couple of days that a lot of places that normally have plenty of snow have barely seen any this year….you wonder if they are going to have a mild winter….or if the worst is yet to come. We generally don’t see snow this early….we…

Outside My Window ~ 12.4.2011
Outside my window…is a fairly mild night after a beautiful day today. Our high today was around 65°F with sunshine and blue skies. This evening is partly cloudy and 47°F at about 8:30. Tomorrow and Tuesday with be a carbon copy of today however rain will move into our area Tuesday evening {as well as more seasonal temperatures} and last until at least Thursday. It was a wonderful day today…and I was lucky enough to have picked this day to put up the outside lights…this day! 🙂 Putting up the lights wouldn’t normally be that big of a deal for me because the people that I bought this house from…

Outside My Window ~ 11.28.2011
Outside my window…is a Monday rather than a Sunday. Maintenance on the sight last night prevented me from posting when I wanted to….I was exhausted and decided it would need to wait until today. 🙂 I worked hard during the holidays and my time off….from preparing a Thanksgiving dinner from start to finish for the first time in over twenty years to my endless fall cleaning to putting up and decorating the Christmas tree. The holiday started off rather cool but ended unseasonably warm. Our average for this time of year is 57°F….our high temperature yesterday was 70°F. Currently {at noon} it is 71°F….and our high is forecast for…
