    Snow

    We got about three inches this afternoon and evening. I always like the way the house looks after a snow fall…. ….and I am definitely in love with night photography. I want more of both.

    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 ~ 11.4.2012

    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…
