We are finally geting some cool/cold weather--it is suppose to get down into the mid to low 30s over the next few days. My bananas leaves are all still green.

Richard · 12-07-2009, 04:21 PM

We had rain showers start today about 5am and so far we've had 3/4 inch. That brings our rainfall total for the year to 4.4 inches.

lorax · 12-07-2009, 04:59 PM

Cool and breezy today, only 20 C and looks like it might even rain tonight (!), bringing our total rainfall for the year up to a whopping 2 cm.

We get more than your annual total in most typical summer thunderstorms. We are close to 6 feet for the yr.

harveyc · 12-07-2009, 08:38 PM

We had about 5 inches in one day back in October. Ruined an alfalfa crop I had in windrows. We got $40/ton instead of $135 and harvesting costs are about $36. That was the most we've had here in one day as far as I can remember. It happened to be a Monday, my busy chestnut shipping day, so it was very miserable and won't be forgotten for quite a while.

Scuba_Dave · 12-07-2009, 08:41 PM

Couple inches of snow Sat nite into Sunday

sbl · 12-07-2009, 09:53 PM

We had a wet summer that ruined a lot of crops down here--sweet potatoes rotted, peanut harvest was difficult, soybeans went bad on the stalk before they could be harvested--many acres were just left in the field, some were harvested for use as animal feed. We are now back in the 70s for highs and more rain predicted for most of the week.

The Hollyberry Lady · 12-07-2009, 10:04 PM

We had a little snow but it melted - and I'm still riding my bike, so what's that tell ya?!!

I have never hoped so much for a green Christmas...

Richard · 12-07-2009, 11:51 PM

The showers here are over for until the end of the week, giving us 1.3 inches for the day.

harveyc · 12-08-2009, 12:13 AM

31F at 9pm....getting cold quickly!

palmtree · 12-08-2009, 12:59 AM

I got a dusting of snow on the cars with saturdays storm! My peace lily which I left outside also got a dusting of snow AND SURVIVED with minor leaf burn. The spindle palms made it too, and all my cold tolerant palms laughed at the cold!

This week we might be seeing temps in the low 20sF and im not looking forward to it. My palms are definately being protected just incase because we are getting rain just before.

Crazy weather for alot of the country this week.

______________
Coldest temp of the season as of (December 8, 2009)- 31F
Warmest temp so far in the month of December as of (December 8, 2009)- 67F
______________

Good luck everyone!

harveyc · 12-08-2009, 03:51 AM

Well, we're down below 29F now and things were getting pretty frosty so I picked my one and only bunch of bananas shortly after midnight. They didn't size up real well but I expect them to ripen up like last year and taste great. Our frost is already thicker than the other 7 nights with frost in the past 3 weeks. Our normal first date is on 12/15. Oh well....

sbl · 12-08-2009, 07:37 AM

No frost here so far, banana leaves are still green, but more rain today. We already have had over 80 inches in part of the county this yr, over 6 ft in Pensacola. I don't remember the exact date of our normal first frost, but it is somewhere around now. El Nino is suppose to bring a cooler wetter winter here--so far it is just wetter.

justjoan · 12-08-2009, 08:31 AM

Winter Storm Warning for here starting this afternoon and going through the day tomorrow 6 to 9 inches of snow and the we will have a couple of days of good old cold, high on Thursday could be only 5 above, Bah Humbug!!!

fishoifc · 12-08-2009, 09:15 AM

"Gale warning" winds 25knots plus next four days,probably get another couple inches of rain. Still no frost yet,might get to 33 on thursday.Oh well no fishing for awhile.

Patty in Wisc · 12-08-2009, 10:29 AM

I'm with you Joan. Same here... it's snow flurries now but will get to 9 - 14 inches by tomorrow a.m. Our first snow storm of the year & the city says they're ready for it. By me - close to the lake, we might get 'thunder snow' storm. The lake effects will give us rain & snow (YUK) & then it will all freeze up after with a cold front coming after.
SBL, the weathermen here say El Nino will give us warmer & wetter temps this winter(?)
I got my hot cocoa & shovel ready!

Now I know why I don't live up north! I feel for you and Joan--freezing is cold, but a high of 5 F is way beyond cold!

I hope the El Nino predictions are right for you and wrong for us!

justjoan · 12-08-2009, 11:37 AM

I am so looking forward to going to Miami in February and then on to the Daytona 500, it will be a nice break!!!!!

Patty in Wisc · 12-08-2009, 02:33 PM

Ahh, Feb - March is a great time to go south.
SBL, 5 f is pretty cold but when it gets below 0 w/ windchill of -20 & -40f, THAT is COLD LOL. It is so cold that when you take a deep breath your lungs stick for an instant, or inhaling thru your nose can make your nostrils freeze! "Flash Frozen" I guess.
