And kids are riding their bikes wearing t-shirts.

I feel like I need to drink my Glühwein with ice cubes in it.

Fick it.

It was supposed to be 20 degrees in **Thermal** last night. Seriously. I’m sure Palm Springs was in the 30’s overnight, but today I laid out in the sun for over an hour. I’m 30 miles or so east of **silenus** but no rain for us. We are basically a world apart, due to an 8,000 ft. mountain to the west of me that stops most of the precip. We’ll see. It’s still early…

It’s snowing!

Okay, fine, just a little. But there are most definitely flakes of snow whirling by my window. It’s awesome. 😃

(-2, expected to go down to -5 tonight. Hi, winter, come on in, make yourself comfy…)

Yes, it’s cold now. Yes, I saw a few flakes in the wind. But that’s what winter is like here these days: taunting, tantalising, but rarely ever gets down to a good solid dump of snow.

I await whiteness.

Checking out the 10-day forecast, it looks more seasonal at home: Wet with highs in the mid- to upper-40s. [Still some snow on the ground](http://www.borderlineups.com/pachwy.htm), and the wet roads will likely have ice on them when nighttime temperatures drop to freezing; but it’s looking pretty good.
