It has gotten warm here again, too. Upper 80's-low 90's. Around a 40 degree differential between nighttime lows and daytime highs.
 
70s and dry. Pretty nice out. Went out to get laundry and dump my compost. I thought it might be a nice night for a Swedish candle. I was giving Spot attention, and had skeeters all over me. Maybe it's not such a nice night to be outside. Can't wait til this awful weather's over with. I want to go out in a Tshirt and shiver.
 
Our first snow is forecasted for tonight. We got small rain showers on and off through the night, and since dawn, intermittent hail. Hopefully, I can get the truck up and running today, and go find somewhere more sheltered. Woke up to the phone shouting at me that there would be "Significant Snowfall in Heber/Overgaard this evening", yippee.

I miss having a woodstove, and insulation.
 
I'm at CurSedVoyce's place, and I'll say that temps feel a bit warmer than back home. Today was slightly overcast, slightly windy, but all around a nice day. Cooling off now.

This area has so much damn topography going on, it's hard to know what to expect. Can't leave the house without changing elevation enough to make your ears pop. The only time I stand on something flat and level, is in Stephen's house. No complaints, it's kinda fun!
 
Monday, it was damp and cold, ended with a small rain, but enough to soak everything and make loading the raking a chore.
Tuesday, a surprisingly hot wind in the morning, turned to serious wind with rain almost all day, soaked to the undies again.
Wednesday, first freeze of the season, but a very nice and sunny weather for a change.
Today, frozen too, not bad, but a serious snow wave (for us) shortened the day at noon. It was about 2" of snow total (we aren't used to that). I was able to make the 1h30 travel back home relatively easily because the roads were still slightly warm and melted the snow for a good part, and the running of the cars and trucks made the remnant like a soup.
 
We survived the so called "Bomb Cyclone" just fine. They tend to sensationalize these storms, but we prepared just in case. We had 11 inches of rain in 3 days at our house, winds gusting around 50. Lots of branches to clean up in the yard and a couple old staubs down, one across the big phone line. Never lost power but it was out all around us. Didn't leave the house in 4 days, baked 3 pies and 4 dozen cookies out of boredom. Gave the pies away, still eating the cookies, waiting for the next pineapple express.
