Crummy marine layer this morning.

[Thunder98]

Very gloomy and cold day with very little sunshine and cooler, cloudier than expected with a high of only 56F.

Gloomy this morning

I think I found Jesse's favorite climate. Only 600 hours of mean sunshine hours per year and 173 days of rain and 70 inches of rain per year. Highs in the upper 40s to around 50F in Summer.

Sky is under Cirrostratus today

[Anti Marine Layer]

First sunrise earlier than the Winter Solstice today. 

[Thunder98]

Very interesting mammatus clouds moving in!

[Thunder98]

Sun Angle is now over 5 degrees higher than it was on the Winter Solstice. Its getting more noticeable now!

 

[Thunder98]

Warm windy day

[Anti Marine Layer]

Should get quite warm again the next few days.

[Thunder98]

This is basically a tale of two coasts, two completely different weather patterns. Very warm west coast and very cold east coast. Same latitude btw. Highs in the 70s and 80s in California and highs in the 20s and 30s with snow this weekend in Upstate South Carolina. It would be nice to get some rain again.

In June it will be the opposite.

More than 10 1/2 hours of daylight today.

[Thunder98]

High was 78F with breezy North winds. Way better than in the Midwest with that negative temps crap.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Where is Jesse?

[Al Roker Jr.]

Picture perfect weather these days. First time in a while I've had people visiting in the winter and they get why I'm here. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's getting hot
