We probably have your warmth down here - temps have been in mid 20'sC - mid 30'sC last few weeks - it is Summer down here...

We apparently broke a record the other day too. Hottest New Years Day on record. (38.0°C) Although it was hotter the previous day (38.2°C)

Hi Skip,
43 degF is still tee shirt weather here,

. Supposed to be going to -12degC in some parts of this country this week. Was watching Ice Road Truckers the other day, and it was -35 to -50 degC,--on the arctic circle. Just nice for a winters walk out,

It was c.35F here today, with a bit of a north easterly wind-chill 'knocking off' a few more degrees. Even the woman opposite, closed her (normally) ever open window, for 30 minutes!!!!! Very definitely, "Kilt Weather" and no mistake!

With a bit of luck, there'll be some crunchy ground for a day or two, but I doubt very much the white stuff'll appear!

Living in Melbourne, Australia, last year was our hottest average ever by 1.3 C. News years eve was 42 C followed by 41 C on news years day.

Very hot.

A high of 36F here in Texas yesterday.

We are 'snow birds' migrating south for the winter. We will winter in New Orleans where we should average daily highs of ~70F. But our holiday stop in NE Texas sure wasn't that warm!

I've not experienced crunchy ground in at least 55 years, Reading PA. Where I was born was crunchy in the winter.

We were promised record low temperatures, this week. It looks as if we've been badly let down. The local 10 day forecast is showing a min of 35F (at best). Not even a frost! At least, it means I'll not need to get the living room fire serviceable, just yet! Or dig the gloves out!
