I don't know what it all means, but I'm getting tired of the breaker in the basement tripping and shutting off the A/C and fan in my bedroom. If I'm downstairs when it happens, I don't even know about it until I go back upstairs and it's too hot to sleep.

It may mean colder and wetter in the northern part of CONUS and warmer and dryer in the southern part.  If it shows up at all....

I had to turn my furnace on last night. And it was only 65 degrees in here when I got up today, which is what I set it for before I went to bed. It ran for a little while and I don't remember hearing it anymore after that. It's 63 degrees outside at about 4:40 pm. And the "feels like" temperature is the same. Yesterday I wore shorts and was walking around barefoot when I went outside for a few minutes. I think it was only a half hour or an hour before sunset and it was 68 degrees, wasn't windy at all and felt good.

On June 28, 1994 when it hit 120 degrees in Monahans, Texas it only got up to 82 degrees here in Flint, which is less than 1 degree above average for that day. That's a difference of 38 degrees in the high temps that day. When it gets down to freezing next weekend and stays there for a few days, I may complain about the cold, but at least I won't be complaining of triple digit heat. And I'm not likely to die of heatstroke any day of the year. 120 degrees is 15 degrees hotter than I can set my toaster over to on the "warm" setting. It's like turning my dehydrator up more than 3/4 of the way. People in Monahans could walk around with slices of raw meat and make jerky using nothing but ambient air temperature. I'm not sure how much walking around they could do without dying, and have to wonder if any of them were saying, "Yes, but it's a dry heat." If they did, they deserved to be punched in the face by anyone left with the strength to do it.

I've been to Monahans quite a bit.  Stayed there a few times for work.  Better than Pyote down the road but by far Pyote has the best hamburgers and chef salads anywhere at Sook's Place.  Huge portions and good quality for hard workers....

Mmm, burger. I didn't feel so hot and missed out on a free burger for my birth month at Freakin' Unbelievable Burgers. And I felt like crap on Veteran's Day and missed out again.

It's 34 degrees here but feels like 24. I'm glad I'm inside. We had a weather alert tonight.

Snow Squall Warning issued December 4 at 9:02PM EST until December 4 at 10:00PM EST by NWS Detroit/Pontiac MI
The National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac has issued a

* Snow Squall Warning for...
Northwestern Oakland County in southeastern Michigan...
Southeastern Shiawassee County in southeastern Michigan...
Northeastern Livingston County in southeastern Michigan...
Southern Genesee County in southeastern Michigan...

* Until 1000 PM EST.

* At 901 PM EST, a dangerous snow squall was located along a line
extending from Durand to near Hartland, moving east at 40 mph.

HAZARD...Intense bursts of heavy snow. Gusty winds leading to
blowing snow and rapidly falling visibility. Wind gusts
greater than 35 mph. A rapid accumulation of snow of
roadways, creating slick conditions.

SOURCE...Radar and webcams.

IMPACT...Travel will become difficult and potentially dangerous
within minutes.

This includes the following highways...
I-75 between mile markers 94 and 121.
I-475 between mile markers 1 and 10.
I-69 between mile markers 114 and 148.
US-23 between mile markers 67 and 90.

Locations impacted include...
Flint, Hartland, Fenton, Grand Blanc, Holly, Davison, Durand, Burton,
Swartz Creek, Linden, Corunna, Cohoctah, Goodrich, Ortonville, Byron,
Bancroft, Lennon, Gaines, Oak Grove, and Lake Fenton.
Slow Down! Rapid changes in visibility and road conditions are
expected with this dangerous snow squall. Be alert for sudden
whiteout conditions.

I'm 1 mile from mile marker 118 on I-75 in the affected area. There's just enough snow to cover the roofs of cars so you can't see what color they are. It looks like winter couldn't wait 2-3 more weeks to start.
