HO HO HOT!




This is the most boring December weather ever, and trust me (but really don't),
*I* know boring! No snow, no ice, heck...not even any rain on the horizon.





I mean, look at this dry spell we're already ensconced in (and we all know just
how painful THAT can be...try to avoid being ensconced this holiday season).



So I guess we turn to temperatures and their trip upwards (mostly). Even this
morning is turning out quite a bit warmer for most of us than yesterday's chilly
start.







So here we go. Those 60s and 70s on the final shopping weekend before Christmas
looks ideal for elbowing people out of the way, pushing your cart into their
car in the parking lot, and spreading good tidings and cheer?

Well, how about sitting on your porch and ordering off of Amazon. Whatever
works.

In case you're wondering about the weather on Christmas Day, here's a "getting
past fantasy-cast into reality-cast territory" first guess: much like Saturday,
highs in the 60s, maybe a few 70s, no precip of course, and clear to partly
pie.

That's almost assuredly going to give us some snow and highs in the 20s!

Well, probably not.



Well, probably not. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, and two
inches of rain.
