> [@John\_Mace](#): > > About 70F. I played golf yesterday in shorts and short sleeve shirt. It was quite nice! I hate you. 😉 We are in the middle of a record-breaking cold snap here. New Year’s Eve it will hit a low of -22°C (almost 8 below zero on the Fahrenheit scale) – but that’s in the city, and I’m out in the northern burbs. The coldest low on record is -20°C and that was in 1944. It normally wouldn’t get much below freezing. When my brother lived in California years ago near your area, my parents and I visited him and he took us to a few vineyards in the Napa valley. I remember my dad exclaiming about how it was somewhere around 80 degrees F and it was February! ---

2F, or -16.7C FWIW, that’s pretty cold for around here. Mrs. Homie grew up here, and she tells me that an average winter will see maybe 10-15 days with temperatures below 20, maybe 5-10 of them with temperatures below 10. She can count on one hand the number of days she’s lived through where it dropped below zero. ---

According to forecast, 20F on New Year’s Eve night, but 12F on the morning of January 2. By our (Alabama) standards that’s crazy cold. And my New Year’s resolution was going to be to bike to work every day
