When I wrote my last column before Thanksgiving, I was hoping we would get some rain headed our way. Unfortunately, all we received was some heavy mist over a few mornings and the forecast doesnât look too promising for rains coming our way anytime soon.
We have had some cold days, helping it feel more like the Christmas season. This morning when I left the house early, it was a chilly 34 degrees. As I drove south on Hwy 101, I could spot frost on a few rooftops as I passed Los Alamos. The morning sun quickly warmed things up, and as I made my way back home a few hours later, the thermometer in my pickup read 68 degrees. The weatherman said we might reach 70, I think he was right this time.
