Poo, the wind just shifted to the north! Not going to cool off much with this front, but I don't think it will hit 80°! Upper 40's tonight, upper 60's tomorrow!
This is "Typical" winter weather for South-Central Alaska.
Muggy, overcast and Meh.
Muggy, overcast, 68 today. Humidity hasn't been below 80% in the last 3 days. Chance of rain goes back up tonight, temps in the 70's for the next couple of days, more rain.
The weather here is bi-polar at the minute- in the last month we've had everything; today is wet and windy, but not cold.
46° now, heading for the upper 60's. Rain later and tonight along with a more formidable cold front!

We have thick frozen fog this morning. Supposed to have more snow later today and tomorrow.
S/W Arizona
Yesterday high was 76. Overnight low was 47.

It snowed at the Village in Lake Havasu, AZ last night! Which is truly amazing since it was 50 deg. 
We beat you yesterday..79°! You know it's hot when it's hotter than Arizona!!
Made 70° a little bit ago, the heavy clouds have moved in, rain tonight with the cold front!IMO, when the temp gets down to 80, Arizona is a frozen wasteland!

This is what I don't get. Texans and other southerners are terrified of two things. These two things send southeners and Texas to supermarkets where they empty entire shelves of food. One of these two things shuts down traffic, shuts down business, shuts down schools. But yet, even though these two things terrify Texans and other southerners, these people love to decorate their homes with symbols and images and decorations of these two things. I assume by now, you know I'm talking about snow and cold. I don't get it. Even my stepsons church in San Antonio is planning a "snowball fight" for the youth. LOL! When he was a minister in Corpus Christi they had a "Polar Plunge" for the youth. I don't get it. Merry Christmas.
LOL - it's not all hot. Though this is our warmest year in the 15 years we've been here. It's usually high 50's this time of year, high 30's at night. We're running 5-15 deg high.
"The coldest temperature ever recorded in Arizona was -40° F at Hawley Lake in the White Mountains on January 7, 1971. The lake is located at an elevation of 8,200 ft."
Flagstaff runs lows in mid 20's to single digits, highs in 40-50's.
I live to be out in the desert on 116-118 degree days, with a cup of 3 day old black coffee in hand. This winter will be long and hard!
Simple, not hard to understand. Snow happens so rarely it's a festive occasion. Kids might get a couple days out of school (makes them very happy). Men get an extra day or two off work during hunting season. Women get a couple days away from work. These are reasons to celebrate!
Terror doesn't enter into the equation... Folks simply need extra groceries for the unplanned meals at home so they stop at the store before a storm hits, also understandable.
6 months of snow and ice is a good reason for suicide... So I can see where more snow does nothing for northerners, its just depressing.
Here, 2 days of snow or ice can be celebrated.

Quite nice weather for working outdoors
More muggy, sloppy overcast, and drizzle.
We have HORRIBLE TXDOT (Texas Department of Transportation)! They have no way to properly clear roads! They put down BRINE (salt water ) days before a winter event,
, THAT DOESN'T WORK! You are either SMART, stay home and be prepared, OR, be an idiot and get on the roads IN THE WAY OF THOSE WHO NEED TO GET OUT ( nurses, doctors, those on dialysis, etc.)!! I rarely watch TV, but I will put on the local news to watch the idiots who get stuck on the insane overpasses in DFW!! No fear here, just a reason for days off during winter storms! 
Storms overnight, cooler tomorrow!
.66" of rain overnight. 63 for a high today. Might hit 70 tomorrow, but cold and windy

Still have heavy frozen fog, and it's still snowing. There's snow predicted for every day up here, except for two, until Dec 30.
Our driveway is impassable right now. That's OK, we don't need to go anywhere until at least next Tuesday.

The cold front arrived, the storms missed me! In fact the are racing into east Texas right now! Was in the 60's overnight, 50° now and a stiff north wind! Sunny and lower 50's today, light freeze tonight!
45 and partly cloudy.

Our forecast is colder than Alaska, as usual.
47* and sunny now ... high of 68* ... is this really December? Not that I'm complaining!
With the last 3-4 days of rain and warmer temps, some green is showing thru the ground leaves only to be knocked back down with a 5 day 4cast of Freezing Temps starting Thursday Evening and Friday AM... 
It always surprises me, how warm it is there.
