Nice cold front ahead Thursday-Sunday, but wish we could push it back a few days. Current forecast for Christmas week sucks.

I'll be in Denver next week.

Not sure what's normal, but the forecast seems really mild for this time of year.

Looks to be 15-20 degrees above normal.....which is the new normal it seems.

That matches more my expectations. I typically go up there for Thanksgiving, and even then, it's usually much cooler (highs in upper 40s) than this Xmas forecast. Hell, it even snowed once about a decade ago for the T-Day feast and at least a couple of times when it didn't get above freezing.

Yes, it has been quite mild here.  Downright fucking pleasant.

You’re not kidding.  I’ve just went outside and killed 3 of them in two minutes.  At least they are moving slow.

Good news is that it will be nice and cool for most of the rest of the time you're here. Cool front arriving tomorrow evening and it shouldn't get above high 60's again until Monday.

Yep. 5 whole days of Fall weather, then over a week of late Spring again. Cloudy and 75 on Xmas day is just pure suck.

Christmas is the hottest day on and already warm 14-day forecast.  Or course lol

FYI, Off! makes a good stocking stuffer.

You know, for those stubborn Christmas mosquitos.

Foggiest morning I think I've ever experienced in Houston on the way to the gym this morning. 150% humidity. 

 

[Storm the Field 5367]

Not ideal weather for the week of Xmas. 

At least it looks like it should dry up and cool back down by NYE.

Today is awesome.

My kids just put their bathing suits on and just jumped in the pool.

I’m in Edinburg for Xmas.   How does this look :

 

[jimmyjazz 47252]

Yesterday's high temperature at Camp Mabry:  77 F

Average high temperature for 12/23:  61 F

 

For pity's sake.  Merry Christmas.

[HenryJames 67438]

Can it at least freeze once to kill the fucking mosquitoes?
