I made my last turkey sandwich for lunch today. Potato roll, layer of sweet potato casserole, layer of mashed potatoes, layer of green bean casserole, layer of cranberry sauce, a dab of gravy, turkey, salt, pepper, and mayo. I gotta admit...I'm not sick of it yet and I might actually miss it tomorrow when I'm back to tuna fish or something.

Egad! Don't know what to say about Dylan's sandwich, but there's gotta be a better way to do leftovers.
Unlike leftovers, the forecast isn't wearing on anyone yet. Temps jumped into the 40s again today, and there's more in store for tomorrow. We'll bust the 50 degree mark again on Thursday before the floor drops out and we fall back to below normal temps for a good 4-5 day spell.
Is this the pattern that will hold through the rest of the month? Can we expect storms to start kicking up?
Easy, easy, there snowhounds. I don't see a sure-lock in the weather pattern...yet. This cold will be deep and long-lasting, but it's not going to last through January.
I will say that there's a weak system that slips under us on Sunday that may have the gumption to spit up a few snowshowers. At this point, it's not a big deal...but if later forecasts show it to be a major playa, we'll let you know.
Here's mayo and gravy in your eye!

If you're reading this between 5 and 7pm on Dec. 2nd, get outside and look southwest. You may see this. The moon will be a little more distant to the left.

Vino and acqua. Venice is underwater! No kidding....but this is actually unusual for them. See the pictures here.
