Well I think it's official winter. We have hit 0 degrees over night.
I also attended to approx 15 fender benders on "the highway to hell" last night. It was so fucking slippery out there last night. My partner gave up driving and I drove because it was so bad and she wasn't comfortable driving.
Nooooo. Winter does not start until (US) Thanksgiving. I refuse for it to start any earlier because that means it's winter for HALF THE YEAR. Unacceptable!

The rain was so bad here yesterday I ALMOST wore my new winter boots, but I decided not to because I'm not ready for winter gear yet. I'll layer until my coat can't zipper anymore and then I'll consider my winter coat. LOL

Rain was the cause of the most of it. After it rained the temperature dropped and everything froze.
Unfortunately when it starts up here it usually stays until spring.

Lol at everyone saying winter doesn't start until Nov or Dec. Come live here luckily we haven't had it too bad yet. I think there has been very minimal snow in some areas and we've been below freezing, but not too far under. No ice or anything yet, which is good because this city sucks at getting salt out there!
It's 84 right now. We are having warmer weather then normal. We have a high of 90 tomorrow which would break the record for high set back in the 1930s. I had to find my shorts because I knew it was too hot for jeans today!
It's still in the low 60's here during the day but dropping into the 30's at night.
awick14 I had a partner who refused to drive during bad weather. Of course I got stuck working with her during a blizzard and we got stuck there since our relief's couldn't get to our station. I worked 30 hours straight. Fun times. At least I didn't have to do any paperwork when it snowed. I usually will be the one to drive in bad weather. I feel safer that way.
It FINALLY started raining here this week! I was so excited to see the rain. I'm not ready for it to be freezing temperatures yet, but mid-40s and rainy feels awesome.
