We had a surprise snowstorm on Thanksgiving. Heavy wet snow that caused a lot of power outages statewide. Fortunately most of it melted yesterday, and there are just a few inches remaining if that.

That was almost exactly our temperatures on November 29th: 30f High, 28f Low.
Cloudy days but that ended – today
. What was remarkable for us during November was the continuing mild lows. This location is just a little colder than the local Weather Service stations but that has the month's average lows at 3°f warmer than normal. That's significant. Officially, we had 14 November days with no freezing. Well, we didn't have that but close. There were no special Highs just warmer than normal lows.One as to recognize their age and long residence when looking at records
. There's 1985 with 8 below zero and 11" of snow on the ground for 12/1. Total snowfall for year-to-date was 26" in 2010. We have had 2.6" this time, Hey, 1/10th! High records are on different years and we didn't really come close ... just moderation, moderation, moderation (with a fair amount of rain thru the month ). Now, I will NOT complain, not even about a 6 foot object casting 196 inches of shadow at high noon! Instead, here's a picture of a pansy, blooming beside the driveway .

Brave little flower considering all of the insects have hibernated.
We are having flurries with accumulation.

there can still be some about on the warmer days.
when i got up and went outside today to take out the trash the sky was full of bright stars. it had been some time since i'd been able to see them and a much longer time since i'd actually been outside at night to look. such a beautiful world and universe we live in.

We woke up to our first heavy frost yesterday. The rooftops were so white I thought it was snow at first. Then it was apparently a sunny day, but we had fog and and the sun was never able to break through. Frost again this morning and bright sunshine, which is wonderful.
