Only cold... but a lot of it

This past weekend saw the continuation of the pattern that we've been locked in to for the entire month of December: cold and dry. Except for one quick warmup ahead of a cold front around 10 Dec, we've been below normal for every day of the month but two (01 Dec was also above normal, just before the deep freeze set in!) I guess I'm thankful that the below-normal temps are coming in Dec., leaving room for Jan & Feb to be back to normal (or even warmer!???)- below normal now means lows between 23-38F and highs 35-40F (instead of 18-23F and 30-35F, which we could have next month). Hopefully the pattern changes as we start 2011- a little warmer, and maybe some more snow!
