Here in eastern Louisiana at 2230 CST it's 59°F and raining HARD!



I'm camped at the blue dot shown on the radar map.

I'm still in a region that isn't very wintery, so I won't talk about the temperature.
But take a look at the abrupt shift in wind direction - and magnitude - that's forecast to happen here tonight!


Those numbers across the bottom are hours,i.e., 6 - 11pm.

I'm camped on a south-facing shore -- just 50 feet from the water, so at least the strong north wind won't be blowing the briny wet onto shore and me.

Here in ne calif, weather seems to bounce from  clear and way colder than usual to above ave. temps, with  periods  of rain, rain snow mix ,then  snow, then repeat ! The sky cleared the other night and I got to see the big astronomical  event in the nw sky-now that was neat! Had a dust of snow this AM, now the sun is out, might be able to take "Timber Dog" for a walk later! Hope next year is a better one!

There is nothing like ice.  This reminds me of our morning walk about a week ago.
