75 this morning. Our high yesterday was 60° again but we are supposed to start warming up and get around 70° by tomorrow. Still no rain in sight for here but Mammoth Mountain has received 2 feet of snow so that is pretty good.

I'm not sure what I will do today so I guess I will see what happens.

122 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 35°, today's forecast is 41°/27° cloudy with some clearing.

I haven't decided yet if I am going to make a Goodwill run to the new one down in the town south of me. I'd like to get this stuff out of the house and garage too. Plus, I'm on the lookout for an outdoor carpet for the kitty house and more fleecy blankets for their beds too. I may just talk myself into it, especially if the sun were to come out.

skb, I know it is all relative, but just curious, what does "a lot colder" mean to you there? :)

111 this morning.

Yesterday"s high was 35°, today's forecast is 42°/25°, partly cloudy.

Slept well last night, no sore neck in the morning. Last night was first with the new pillow and it really seems to be helping already. It is very soft but holds head just right! I didn't even have the dry mouth I usually wake up with!

Yesterday turned out to be a lazy, stay at home day, today looks to be the same.

106 this morning. Our high yesterday was 65° and it is supposed to be a bit warmer at 68° today and we should be around 70° for the next few days.
I have gone through a few different pillows to try to find ones that I like and finally settled on the ones I have now and have been pretty happy with them. I'm a "Goldilocks" not too soft and not too hard type of person so it can be a challenge.

Yeah, that is about where I fall too. The one I had been using, the horseshoe type shape, is really on the hard side. It served well after my mastectomies, for support and comfort so I replaced it a few years ago with the same type. But as time passed, it wasn't really needed for the support and it started hurting my neck. This new pair seemed too soft when I unpacked them, but as I let them sit, as directed after fluffing up, they felt a little better. After sleeping on one of them I found it very comfortable though much softer than I would have picked off the shelf somewhere. I conformed to my head/neck well and I didn't do the normal tossing around I had done with my old pillow. Tonight I am going to put the third, smallest, one in too to see how that works. The directions say for a side sleeper either use the med. and lrg. pillow or all three: sm, med, & lrg. So far happy, maybe even more so with all 3!

117 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 37° but even so it was mostly clear so a nice day. Today;s forecast is 42°/21° again mostly clear. The inversion is keeping temps up some, that may be changing soon though.

Garbage up to the road and a quick PO/grocery run is all for today. Decided to put off going to town (either one) for a few days. I'm kind of enjoying the quiet and not "having" to do anything.

78 this morning. Our high yesterday was 68° and it should be the same today and be around 70° for the next few days. In the Los Angeles area they are looking at temps around 80° so pretty unusual for the start of December.

Well, after a month of "Black Friday" sales today is "Cyber Monday" and more on line sellers are having sales which is a good time to buy if there is something you want or need but nothing is tempting for me.

Yep, the few things that were in my Shopping List that went on sale I have already ordered and received. Nothing else I need except the Christmas Gift cards for the family.

A lot colder would mean 50oF and lower. There is no snow in India except high up in the northern Himalayan areas. But in the northern Gangetic plains the temperatures can go to 0oC or sometimes in the negative range.

104 this morning. 12° when I went out to feed the cats! There was even a thin layer of ice over the water dish in their house.

Yesterday's high was 39°, today's forecast is 43°/25° mostly clear. Hat an mitten weather for feeding the cats in the morning! The weather just makes me want to hunker down inside and enjoy the fireplace!

Nothing special on the agenda other than laundry today.

82 this morning. Our high yesterday was 68° and it may get to 70° today so still not too cold but it is supposed to get down to the low 60s next week. Still no rain in sight here for the next few days.

Nothing planned for today, it is too early to think about it.  ::)

117 this morning.

Another cold morning, 15° and freezing fog. brrrrr

Yesterday's high was 35°, today's forecast is 41°/23° with fog and some clouds later. The inversion continues, keeping the cold temps close to ground. It is warmer up in the mountaiins!

No plans for today except maybe fluff up the cat beds in their house and scrounge around for some old fleece clothes I can put out for the cats beds.

100 this morning. Our high yesterday was 71° and it is supposed to get to 72° today so staying warm for now. Next week it will start to cool down a bit.

I don't have anything on my schedule for today and no appointments until next week so just kind of taking it easy.

122 this freezing fog morning. It's 15° outside 7:20am and I am waiting just a bit to feed the cats...

Yesterday's high was 33°, today's forecast is 39°/23° partly cloudy once the fog burns off around noon. II really don't like so much dark! I'll be glad when the clocks start going the other direction. It is 7:30 and still dark but I need to feed the cats. Bundle up time!

Another day with not much planned. Eventually I will have to go out to get batteries for the very few Christmas things I plan to put out.

103 this morning. Our high yesterday was 73° and it is supposed to be 71° today and it will be around that until next week then down to the low 60s next week. 

Gee Barbara.   ~shvr~ 

It can get cold here and down to freezing but usually not until January and February.  So far it has been pretty nice.
