54 degrees in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. 
The tree is up :
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, and the wet roads will likely have ice on them when nighttime temperatures drop to freezing; but it’s looking pretty good.
