December? Maybe, maybe not. Supposedly it's going to be a mild winter, whatever that means. They've said that for the last few years, and we've not had much snow. This dusting won't last as in a few days the forecast says upper 40s to low 50s.
Anything can happen weatherwise here. Some ten or so years ago the Halloween blizzard dumped some 2 feet of snow. Then, when Mrs Big Dog and I were married in December 1998, the day of our wedding was overcast and around 50 degrees and no trace of snow.
Long story short, all bets are off. There's no guarentee it will be cold, let alone snow.
Interesting. I am trying to decide whether to fly or drive, and I feel 99% like I will fly, to avoid snow related incidents. But I love road trips and the comforts of having gear in the car. I love snow, sledding, x country skiing...but do not do well in driving in snow. i usually do NOT what you are supposed to do when encountering ice/snow. And a 760 mile trip, one way, is a bit daunting in Dec. And you know, one of my sis' used to live in St. Paul, what was the story of her doggies' paws freezing to the porch?( she does jest, so that may have been an exaggeration ).
I just came in from the garden.....my gosh is it cold out there. Did not think to take my mittens and froze my digits off .
Curious, I had heard it was to be a colder than average winter, and Big Dog heard it is to be a mild winter. But you know, weather can not be accurately forcasted more than 12 hours into the future.
I've got a soup started, a potato, bacon, broccoli soup.......stay warm youall!
