At home in Bend there have already been Winter Storm Advisories, Watches and Warnings, and December 1 marked the beginning of meteorological winter.
So it's here - winter!

(Yes, even here... where winter means you don't use the A/C as much as in summer)

And only 16 more days until the earth swings around to longer days.

 

Mark enjoy the non AC days.  Happy winter.

This series of storms has netted my rain gauge 2.7" of rain. Not half bad. Very little runoff. No worries about the creeks and levees. Hopefully it keeps up.

Ah yes. Don't know why but those 16 days seem interminable and then suddenly, the days are getting longer!

Is it just me, or do the shortened days seem to be less than usual?

Dan, do you mean that the short-days time of year goes by faster?
For myself, I attribute it to age -- ALL time is going by faster. 🙄
