As I sit here getting ready for my day and week, I can't help but wonder how the weather is for some of you.
Are all of you in the southeast ok? Are any affected by the rain and flooding in California, and last, but not least, is the nor'easter forecast for the other end of the country keeping all on their toes? We're just coming off a 'heat wave' with temps in the low 50's in the Midwest.
Stay safe out there, all!
Christel

Been warm here also with lots of rainy days. Our nor'easter is going to hit tonight with lots more rain and high winds. Boats have been cancelled today and with gusts to 70 predicted for tomorrow no boats them either. Not planning to go off island anyway so just a normal work day - off to work in the van. We were in Vt. last weekend and the temps were around freezing with fog and drizzle. Not a great snow weekend.
How is the weather out your way Christel? Looks like the weather is going to be more seasonal this weekend into next week.
On sort of a weather related note I got a new pair of electric (battery powered) gloves. LL Bean had a good sale going. Batteries are charging now and first cold day I will test them. My old ones are good but not holding up all that well. What I usually do is wear "normal" gloves and keep the battery powered ones in my "man bag" and when the Raynaud's kicks in I break out the electric gloves to warm up. Works pretty well.

We're pretty big LLBean shoppers--they actually just opened a store in our area. I never thought to look there for those. Will put it on my to-do list and check them out! Thanks, Jeff!
Since our miserable deep freeze over the holidays, I am feeling much more comfortable with just average winter temps. It's amazing what we can settle for and be happy with, isn't it?

I will let you know how they work out. If you have their credit card they ship free, IIRC, and actually send you some good offers unlike many retailers.
Have not been outside yet today but we did not get as much rain as predicted but it was and is windy. No boats so far today - probably later.
Yes you are correct about small weather gifts - like a warm winter day. Since the SD I REALLY appreciate summer. I just feel more normal.
