Outside My Window ~ 9.9.2013
Outside my window…is a Monday rather than a Sunday so I have Williamsburg in my view. Currently we are at 83°F with mostly cloudy skies. The forecast for the week looks very much the same as today…. mostly sunshine and temperatures warming up to the low 90’s by mid-week. It has been quite dry, I believe the last measurable rainfall was on August 29th. I wouldn’t mind a few days of a rain…the soaking variety would be welcome…and cooler temperatures. I could possibly get my wish this Saturday for cooler with a forecast of 72°F for the high and a low of 58°F. I’m very ready for fall…summer and the heat needs to go away. I…

Outside My Window ~ 4.28.2013
Outside My Window…is a cloudy evening. We started out with blue skies and sunshine but as the day progressed we built up to what is now total cloud cover with some fairly dark skies on the horizon. Our forecast for this evening is cloudy skies with an 80% chance of rain after midnight. At 6:15 we are currently at 62°F which is very close to the forecast over night low of 60°F. Our high today was around noon with partly cloudy skies and 70°F. It was a fabulous weekend overall….perfect for working outside. Yesterday I was able to finish my clean up of the backyard and trimming the two large bushes on the opposite side…

Outside My Window ~ 4.1.2013
Outside my window…is the closing hours of a beautiful day on this the first day of April, 2013. Our high today was 73°F…partly cloudy but I can deal with that when the temperature is so warm. Unfortunately I was inside for a better part of the day at work but I was able to enjoy the nice weather while walking the dog this morning and this evening. This past weekend was half and half….Saturday was beautiful ~ not as warm as today, but very nice still the same….Sunday was cloudy and rainy. This was typical spring weather…not the cold that is coming back Tuesday and Wednesday evening. Daytime temps won’t…

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 ~ 11.4.2012
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 ~ 7.17.11
Outside my window…is the sun setting on another Sunday. My how the weekends fly. We had a couple of beautiful days but I didn’t get outside too much. Right now it is 80°F with about 50% humidity…zero chance of rain this evening. Our high was about 86°F today….not too bad for mid July. We will be heating up to a high of 97°F by Thursday with a chance of thunderstorms for Wednesday and Thursday. I noticed when I checked the Weather Channel there is a tropical storm brewing in the Atlantic…I probably should pay closer to the weather this time of the year. It appears as if it will not be a…

Outside My Window ~ 12.06.09
Outside My Window…the sun is coming up to a clear sky and temps at 35F ~ wind chill is 28F. The lack of clouds and rain has made me smile this morning. Yesterday was miserable and wet…..todays forecast is 45F with sunshine and blue skies. These sunshine days are welcome…..we really could do without the rain for a few days. I believe we already have over an inch of rain for the month of December……add that to the nearly 12 we received in November, well let’s just say the ground feels like a very soggy sponge. There were some very large puddles on roadways yesterday….there is no where for this…
