Nice and warm the last few days, above freezing overnight.

Is it spring yet? 😉

Daytime highes have been well above average and nightime lows have been around freezing. 40+ degree F temperature swing from moring low to afternoon high. Also it has been very dry considering this is the rainy season.

I loved the bit about ice wine. Always got to cover both sides of the story, eh?
If you have never had ice wine, try a bottle this weekend. Expensive but tasty.

We had a very nice day like 47F/ 8.3C and some much needed rain.

I spent all that time covering my plants and I don't think a one needs it. 😡 But I like that. 😀

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

If global warming means no ice wine, well, we all have to make sacrifices.
Tulsa has been delightfully warm while we've been away. Think they hit 70 oF today!

And no, we have NOT used the AC down here in Belize. Heck, even the fan is off right now 😆

Easy trade-off IMO (yech!).
I'll take the GW.

very dry considering this is the rainy season

Jubaea made a good point...same here.
No measurable rain or snow here...and snow storage in the hills is our next summer's water supply. 😐

But the sunshine and warmish winds were lovely.

65F ??? Amazing, considering some previous years, huh?

wondering when winter will arrive!

Hopefully not March or April.

Your plants must be loving that!

If only we knew in advance!

We apparently have arctic air coming in 5 or 6 days...was hoping it would stay in Siberia, or Alaska.

January can be a brutal month...

The weather is really mixed. I noticed yesterday that my Platanus x acerifolia wants to start his new season to grow...
I'm worried about it beacuse it's hard to believe there will be no winter this winter...

Keep exoting!
