Here in the armpit of Sandy Hook, NJ, near the entrance to New York Harbor

[acelightning]

Here at Sandy Hook, NJ, the entrance to New York Harbor (and within sight of the skyline of Manhattan), the temperature never got much above freezing (32° F), on Thursday with gusty northwest winds. I'm so happy the weather is finally getting cooler! I can't stand hot weather; it makes me sick. But last night I was able to put a second blanket on the bed to keep warm (and to add weight - I think I'm going to ask for a weighted blanket for my wintergift). Earlier this week there had been predictions of light snow for Thursday, but it didn't happen here. The ten-day forecast mainly indicates a continuation of cooler weather, with some rain but no snow. I may put on a pair of socks when I go to bed.

Weighted blankets are great! Here's where I got mine:

Done.

Here.

And by "not this year", I meant that the chances of my getting a weighted blanket any time soon are very small.
