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…
