Just a beautiful day here presently 37 F and mainly sunny with light SE winds. Light winds means I finally got the chance to go build my roadside allium chaff/tomato plant compost/hugel thing. Future soil for a lucky shrub or tree. I got the last of my bought compost out of the tarp and folded that and put away.
We are having cool days and windy but all the precip in the forecast is on strong systems from S and SE, so I doubt we'll see snow on the ground this week. The temperatures are on a yo-yo with those southerly systems, and forecast high for tomorrow to go above 60 F. Too bad it will be raining and blowing a gale.
This time last year the nasty wintry weather was already closing in. We rarely get that in the first half of November, but pretty common from time to time in late Nov. It can also be mostly nice right into december or even January with no snow on ground. Not very predictable, lots of room for hopes and dreams.
A few days ago, I found a professional forecast of climate change in my area - the temperature change in winter, spring and summer is pretty small, but the autumn temp increase is expected to be three times as much.
Still mulling over that and whether it will be advantageous in any way, since the days of course are dwindling and are just too short at some point.
Oh well, no doubt we'll take whatever we get.
The only rule that seems to work here is, expect surprises.
