When I walked out I caught myself saying "it's almost freezing" and quickly realized the idiocy of that remark, even if it was under my alarmed breath :lol: .
For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.

27 here in Flag this morning. I'm staying inside, burning propane, until a more reasonable temperature has been achieved.

26 degrees for the low in Flagstaff, and a forecast high of 44 at 12,000' on the Peaks. So much for the nice weather up there,....for a while. it sure was nice being on the summit with 65 degrees last week.

Indeed, we all enjoy different types of weather. I like mild conditions. Not sub-freezing, or 115, but the kind of weather most people think of as pleasant. Lows in the 50s, highs in the 80s, sunny and dry with happy clouds scattered about. I like sunshine, lollipops, rainbows,......

Hopefully we will receive some decent winter totals to help make up for the shortfall. :pray:

yes, we can hope! I wonder what impact the dry summer will have on colorful fall foliage and winter/spring wildflowers?

If memory serves, as it often does not, we had a poor monsoon last year but nice winter rains. The result was a second near "super-bloom" spring in a row.

@LosDosSloFolks
If I recall, the last I checked the scientific discussion indicated they expect 2020 all around to be a record dry year including fall/winter. I hope they are wrong. I do not enjoy carrying 12 liters of water in my backpack.

Lately I have been using farmer's almanac for long-range weather outlooks. They have pretty much been spot on as long as I've been looking at it.

I hope they're wrong too, but 2020 shows no signs at all of offering up any redeeming qualities. :(
