Eventually normal will prevail, and I'll be 70 when you guys are 30, so it's all good. I don't have like this cold coming though, even though it does happen from time to time. About 15 years ago it was 16 in my mom's Sun City backyard one January for a morning low. The high was only 42 that day.

If my dispatcher sends me to Flagstaff on Thursday, I'll see accumulating snow before you guys will. Wednesday Night A chance of rain showers before 8pm, then a chance of rain and snow showers between 8pm and 10pm, then snow showers likely after 10pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 24. Breezy, with a southwest wind 17 to 24 mph, with gusts as high as 38 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Thursday Snow showers. High near 26. Southwest wind 13 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible. Thursday Night A 30 percent chance of snow showers before 11pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 12. West wind 7 to 9 mph, with gusts as high as 16 mph. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Where I am there shall the cold be also...lol A few years ago when you guys flirted with 80 in February, I was shivering at a truck stop in Palm Springs.

Some cold weather records may be set here Thursday and Friday... Thursday A 40 percent chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 62. Southwest wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Thursday Night A 20 percent chance of showers before midnight. Mostly clear, with a low around 41. West wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light northwest in the evening. Friday Sunny, with a high near 64. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon.

lol... Actually it has to do with a big fire in Tamaqua and the risky behavior of one of the responding fire companies.

@sauss06 Check your messages when you get a chance...

By next Friday, our highs here in Phoenix metro will be at January averages... Friday A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 66. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon.

It would figure...

Low of 44.9 this morning at the desert hacienda...

This morning's low here in Sun City was 46 degrees. You guys need to keep your cold weather on your own side of the country...lol

Early nooners in Phoenix. Only 73 degrees.

100% truth!

This Phillies team is really something special! Who would have thought, back in May, that we'd be one win away from a World Series appearance?

Wow...no posts since Friday? Anyway, thoughts on whether the Phillies can get the game in today with prospects for rain?

But eventually it WILL happen...lol

I miss my wife, and wish upon wish that she would join me here in AZ, but I sure don't miss that.

Yup...lol Seriously though, it can and does get cold out here on occasion during the winter. Not northeast cold, but it does get down into the upper 20s to low 30s every now and then.

I'm gonna freeze next week...

My fall foliage? Solid green...lmao! Currently 88.1 degrees here.

Low in Tamaqua was 28.2 this morning.

Yes, we do get frost out here, once or twice per winter...lol

That would make sense. Forecasts suggest 10-15 degrees below normal here next week. Usually, when we're cold you're warm, and vice-versa.

29.1 earlier this morning at the Tamaqua homestead. Here in AZ this morning? 70.3

I'm in Arizona now, so theoretically I shouldn't have to worry about heating expenses, but as long as my wife remains in PA, I'm going to be on the hook for the heating oil. Unfortunately, I doubt she reconsiders her stance. There's probably a better chance of a Phoenix white Christmas than her ever moving out here.

A few more rain waves overnight pushed the rain total to 2.07" in less than 24 hrs for the event. Impressive desert storm system as this is about 25% of our annual average.
