Just before Christmas, we experienced an unusually warm spell of winter weather, with temperatures soaring to a surprising +7°C (43°F) for a couple of days. This unexpected surge caused all the snow to melt away, leaving the landscape in a dull, uninspiring gray hue. The atmosphere has been heavy with drizzle and fog, shrouding everything in an almost melancholic veil, not very inspiring to say the least. the week ahead, it is supposed to get colder, and there’s even a possibility that we might see some snow, which could bring a much-needed touch of light and cheer to our surroundings. With the weather keeping me indoors, I have spent the last few days reading a books I’ve been meaning to get to, binge-watching my favorite TV series, and unfortunately, spending way too much time scrolling through social media. This endless cycle of news updates has so much depressing news, making it even more difficult to shake off the gloomy vibe.

Yes to books, yes to shows and a no to news. I have no idea what’s happening in the world except for snippets I have seen on TV.
I am happy and content. I’ll have some cooler weather though. The past few days have been between 36 and 39C plus humid 🥵 and no rain.
A crackling fire and a warm drink to keep you company?
Red wine and fire, yes, I have enjoyed simultaneously few times
I am enjoying my beer and air conditioning time
Leaving Fargo for the winter, we found lots of fog and cool temps. Now in New Mexico, our temperatures here are matching your warmer temperatures, and accompanied by beautiful skies. Our drive through Colorado was sunny with some beautiful snow on evergreen trees.
Sounds so nice John.
