Here in the armpit of Sandy Hook, NJ

It's the first day of December. The sky is thoroughly overcast, and there's a cold gusty wind - the temperature is 37° F/2.8° C. It's going to start raining here very soon, but the rain will be mixed with freezing rain, sleet, and snow, and the temperatures are going to keep going down. The prediction is for all that wintry precipitation to continue and turn back into light rain, but then become more frozen and hazardous through all of Sunday and Monday and into Tuesday morning. Weather that I would normally have expected for early December. I hear the trucks going by on the main road, spraying ice-preventing "brine" on the pavement. It's easier to get into the mood for the winter holidays when the weather is wintry.

I hope the glop isn't too bad tomorrow! Wintry mix can be so treacherous.

The prediction is that Monday there will be enough snow to accumulate to some degree, and then a bit more overnight, but it should end on Tuesday morning. I have a physical therapy appointment Tuesday afternoon, but that ought to be no problem.
