Wishful thinking……….
If we can have a Christmas week in the 50s in Chicago… why not?
Sounds good to me. Supposed to be in the upper 70s with no rain till Friday. Nights will be cool but I like it that way.
Most excellent winter BBQ battle cry ever….CHARGE !!!
This is considered grounds for divorce in 34 states.
In many societies, the Solstice was considered MID-winter. In Portland, OR December is the coldest month and has the worst storms, so it’s uphill into Spring.
Ah, the yin and yang of the Day household.
Now the days begin to expand again instead of shrink.
Argo missed a season. He could have just as easily said it was the beginning of Autumn.
NO it is the first full day of Astrological Winter, Meteorological Winter started 1 December

HAPPY WINTER
“Snow to the left of me, sleeting to the right. What shall I do? Grill!”
In Argentina they’re going on picnics.
I wonder what Gene and his family are doing for Christmas this year.
In Colorado the month doesn’t matter for grill’in, just do it.
I like Arlo, ever the optimist!
Arlo’s got the right perspective on it!
I have no problem shovelling off the upper deck to get to the BBQ.
Winter Solstice marks the beginning of ASTRONOMICAL winter… I prefer to think of it (as many do) as Midwinter Day.
BREAK OUT THE SKIMPY BIKINIS!!!
Temps in the high 30s to low 40s for the next two weeks with showers up here in the Comox Valley. No snow this side of the Island.
the Christians stole Christmas from the Pagan celebration of Winter Solstice
Winter grilling seems to be so much better than summer grilling for some reason.
In reality it marks the beginning of colder weather to come. Coldest months in my area are January and February.
Arlo finding a positive. in a negative world.
That’s what I tell myself on the summer solstice: The days are getting shorter! It won’t be summer forever!
Hmmm… would this mean that Arlo would then consider June 22nd to be the “beginning of winter”, I wonder?
