Good Wednesday morning,

Dry – Cold weather is all about our forecast for the rest of the week.

The storm system that gave us all our weather last weekend is pounding the east coast now https://zoom.earth/

The days seem to be quite short as we are 7 days till winter solstice. Sunrise 6:55 am and sunset 4:51 pm 9 hours and 55 minutes of daylight today

It could be worse because Seattle WA 7:48 am and 4:19 pm 8hr and 31 minutes https://sunrise-sunset.org/us/seattle-wa

Anchorage Alaska sunrise 10:04 am and sunset 3:44 pm 5 hours 39 minutes https://sunrise-sunset.org/us/anchorage-ak

with a high of 24 degrees and 17 degrees right now.

I guess we have nothing to complain about, even if it is really cold to me here in Santa Barbara.

Today is a chilly start with 41 degrees at my house and frost on many roofs, and 34 in Santa Ynez. Highs today will remain in the 50s.

The rest of the week will be dry and cool. We will see low 60s as we get into the weekend. We are looking for a dry period with no rain in sight.

The extended forecast is looking dry through most of next week.

Where we are at 172% of average rainfall for the season, so we can take a week off, but we don’t want this to go on for too long.

Enjoy the cool dry weather, Christmas is 11 days away and Cabo is 2 days for me.
