Raining attm w 43F. Feels like "The Calm B4 Ol' Man Winter Arrives Next Week." It will get quite busy around here weatherwise. Note: this shortwave for tomorrow nite into NYE looks interesting for some folks and for mby, hopefully. Keeping an eye out for that.

Most of the area has picked up nearly 1" of rain over the last 3 days. We will finish the year not too far from normal annual rainfall. Today will be our warmest day since December 11th (59.6 degrees). Many spots could hit 60 degrees! Rain chances increase again tonight before we finally see some sun tomorrow. Still mild tomorrow with highs in the low 50's before we see more rain on New Year's Eve. We then start the trend to colder days with temperatures by Friday and next weekend falling below freezing for high temperatures.

I guess I am the opposite when it comes to the seasonal depression. The hot, dry sunny summers bring me down while I am happiest during the wet, grey, rainy months. But with 6 inches of rain on the weather station, even I am a lil tired of it. And the muddy paw prints on floor, couches, chairs, beds...... I hope we get some good models to ride. I miss the epic clown-range, not gonna happen Pepto snow maps.
