Seems like it's been a while, as in maybe a couple of decades, since we have had a stretch of cold coming as they are predicting for the coming week or so. I've also seen at least one weather forecast that claims we are going to have a general heavy snow by next weekend. (yeah I know, believe it when I see it)
In any case my thermometer did not go above 33 today even though it was bright and sunny. Unusual for Charlotte these days.
Here is a local map with a lot of backyard and official thermometers and weather stations imposed over it.
The weather soo far this winter has been a big disappointment for me. I expected temperatures here to be atleast in the mid 50's for daytime highs but it seems like it has been averaging mid 40's which is way cold for me. Maybe I should have just stayed in Southern California? or maybe moved to Orlando instead?

In So Cal it's going to be 76 tomorrow with a low of 47.
At least we have winter here which is a nice change and I don't have to shovel snow.
Brrrrrrrrrr it hasn't been this cold in a long time. The last couple a years have been a lot warmer than it was when I was younger. This feels more like the winters of my childhood. I lived in the Triad, not Charlotte. It wasn't cold for long periods like they are predicting this time but it was often cooooooold.
I blogged about my predictions for a cold winter . . . and I wouldn't have done that unless I felt very certain. There are enuff opportunities to look dumb without putting things in writing, lol!! But from the weather patterns I have watched since childhood - coupled with the black wooly worms - I was convinced we were in for a colder than typical winter.
Here's my entry. It is in the feature story section of my blog. As you will see, I didn't mind making the prediction! But I would have been happy to be wrong on this one!
I need to house swap with a snowbird in Florida for the winter
