It would just be nice if we could all be here, watching King Kong tonight

Yesterday, we took a Writers Half Day, knocking off for a late Chinese lunch, followed by a couple games of Scrabble.

Today, given the news that Winter, is, indeed and at last, coming to Central Maine, includes a trip to town to pick up necessities that we would have gotten on our next Regularly Scheduled Trip to Town, early next week, however! That is now inked in as a Storm Day.

This is what the next few days look like, here at the Cat Farm and Confusion Factory:

Winter is set to arrive in stages, starting tonight with a session of freezing rain, moving into Sunday with 1-3 inches of snow and ice expected. We get a breather Sunday night into Monday, except for temps 'waaaaaay lower than we've been used to even on the overnights thus far, then Tuesday? Stuff gets real.

Tuesday Watching a potential winter storm. Snow during the morning will become a mix of wintry precipitation during the afternoon. High 19F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 100%. 5 to 8 inches of snow and ice expected.

Tuesday Night A wintry mix early will taper to a few snow showers late. Low 19F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 70%. Snow and ice accumulations less than one inch.

Wednesday will be calm, with a little freezing rain on the overnight to keep our hand in.

On the one hand, 60F/16C on December 25 in Central Maine is Just Wrong.

On the gripping hand, I was enjoying this shovel-free time.

What's the weather look like at your house?

Here in the DC area, yesterday was so warm and humid that I regretted roasting a turkey breast for dinner because it made the kitchen so hot. More like some of my childhood Christmases in Houston than like Maryland would be expected to be.

Today cloudy and a little more chilly.

The projected bad weather is all going north of us. We don't expect anything but temps dropping back into far-more-seasonal highs in the 40s. Good thoughts aimed at all expecting snow and ice.
