It has been unseasonably cold where I live since mid-October when our extended summer finally ended. We went from unseasonably warm to downright cold in a matter of 24 hours. Except for one or two days in the 50s, we have had days struggling to reach 40. Thanksgiving Day, we won’t make it out of the 20s. Normal highs here are around 50.
Mercifully, though, no snow or any other precipitation is forecast here for Thanksgiving. This year has also been among the wettest on record locally. I would love to send all of our snow, rain and other dampness to California if I could.
Same here. A very rainy summer and we went from using the a/c one day to turning on the heat the next. It’s been rather cold. Makes me wonder what this winter has in store for us. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Granny and to Consistent and everyone else on this wonderful board.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
