What a difference in temperature a few days make! Dec 23rd, we had a low of 5F and a high of 28F. Todays low this morning was 37F and the high was 69F. The low was 32 degrees higher and the high was 41 degrees higher in 6 days.

Sitka, AK 44° F

When it's icy cold here in Lower 48, it's often times balmy 50-60's in Alaska... but they also get -60 F... bring the car battery inside...

Today it was up to 68*F when I was out in the car around 1:30pm. So much better than staying below freezing Friday thru Monday morning.

Where did expectations of a white Christmas originate? Certainly not Bethlehem.

Probably from the Best Selling Song in History as per records sold...
" "White Christmas" is an Irving Berlin song reminiscing about an old-fashioned Christmas setting. The song was written by Berlin for the 1942 musical film Holiday Inn. The composition won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 15th Academy Awards.

Since its release, "White Christmas" has been covered by many artists, the version sung by Bing Crosby being the world's best-selling single (in terms of sales of physical media) with estimated sales in excess of 50 million copies worldwide.[2] When the figures for other versions of the song are added to Crosby's, sales of the song exceed 100 million.[3][4][5] " -Wikipedia

We couldn't get above -0- F Friday and Saturday...

I'm getting conflicting information on putting heat tape on PEX. Some people do it but the heat tapes I've looked at (ie Frost King), don't list PEX as a material they are approved for. And also, some people put foam insulation over the heat tape but other people say not to do that.

Does anyone have info on this?

Call Frost King on Monday.

(800) 299-5700

They are having flooding in the Sacramento, Ca area where some of our kids still live. This bridge going over the Consumnes River.





It now looks like this.

Apparently Teslas don't like low temps;
A brother and sister say they had to stop 6 times in one day to charge their rented Tesla in cold weather after the battery drained quickly

Yeah, I can’t wait until we are all forced to drive electric cars….not!

A Tesla caught in a lake effect snow storm on I-90 would flatline the battery for sure. Now consider if all the vehicles on I-90 were EV.

We had a tornado warning last night like much of the South did. In particular, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. I haven’t heard if any actually touched down.

 

[Ron Van]

36F this morning at 7am. Yesterday was 61F

 

[Ron Van]

Looks like rain all day today!

 

[Ron Van]

Foggy and 38F this morning

 

[havasu]

We had 4" of rain with gusts of 50 mph wind. Tomorrow I'll spend pulling leaves out of the pool, cutting some branches, and cleaning up the house.

Any flooding? Other parts of California are under flood watch and /or evacuation.

A tornado watch just popped up for us. It lasts until 1pm today CT.
