New Year's Eve (or Day) Weather

10 years ago

Today 34, tonight 27, tomorrow 34, and cloudy the entire time. At least there's no precipitation called for here in my part of Ohio. So what's it like where you live? Please give at least a general place where you are.

This morning it was -6C (about 20F and a little chilly for the morning run) and absolutely clear blue skies with snow on the mountains and on the trails where we were running. Just a stunning day. It will warm up a little this afternoon but with New Years tonight there are warnings for people to layer-up if they're out for the celebrations as it will be down to -5 or -6 again tonight. Clear again tomorrow.

I'm in Vancouver.

Hi Shirley, our weather is surprisingly much the same as yours this last day of the year - temp wise at least. It's clear, sunny. I have one bank of living room draperies pulled part way at floor to ceiling windows. It's that few weeks of the year where with no leaves on the trees, low morning sun angle hits some leather furniture, rest of the year I'm good and don't have to worry about fading.

27F at 7 AM when I got up. DH had been up earlier, put hummingbird feeders back outside and gone back to bed ;) He didn't want those little critters to have icy breakfast.

We are not supposed to climb out of the 30's today or for the next few days. No fog, no rain. I wish I was a little tougher because I have some outside clean up I'd like to do in my shrub beds, that sunshine is deceiving though, it's cold. Washington coast. (and south of blfenton)

Ours was utterly quiet, although not unpleasant :). Both kids were off doing their own NYE celebration so the house was nice and calm. We ate dinner, chatted, then he went to sleep early and I read for awhile. Boring? Maybe but also a moment to cherish being secure in our lives and with so much for which to be grateful. Actually, our New Year's reminds me of the lyrics to one of my favorite Carly Simon songs, Misfit: There are plenty of late nights If you want to stay up for them You'll just want to find yourself a friend And tie a couple on in a night spot Draw pictures of your soul, win the jackpot Pour tears in your beer It's hip to be miserable when you're young and intellectual In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit Come on home with me We'll turn on the TV About 10 o'clock we'll turn off the light Not every man was born to stay up late at night There are plenty of boats to catch If you notice all the sails in the wind But you better look hard my friend In case you catch a ride on the wrong one In the distance is the one you belong on Oh the water is wide It's hip to be miserable when you're young and intellectual In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit Come on home with me We'll sit under a tree And if you get the itch I'll supply the scratch Not every man was born with a boat to catch It's hip to be miserable when you are young and intellectual In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit A misfit

Angelaid, I love potato pancakes but I would say that is is my favourite version. There is no secret to making these pancakes. I've made them with mashed potatoes that I made specifically for making these pancakes and I've also made extra mashed potatoes for dinner and saved the leftovers for these pancakes. When I make them with the leftover mashed potatoes there is also butter in the mix. This is not a stiff or thick batter. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop up the batter. Mere Blanc's Potato Pancakes From:www.thedailyspud.com with very minor changes. 2 small baking potatoes 1/4 cup milk 1/3 cup All-Purpose flour 2 eggs, separated 1-1/2 tablespoons heavy cream Pinch of salt Pepper Fresh chives (or green onions) Butter for frying Cook potatoes until tender Mash with a little milk. Let potatoes cool before adding the remaining milk, cream, flour, egg yolks, salt, pepper and chives. Beat Egg Whites until stiff. Fold into potato mixture. Do not over mix. This is a light but thick batter. Heat a griddle or skillet. ( I used a rectangle electric frying pan) . Brush with butter. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup drop batter on to griddle. Cook until pancakes are brown and then flip. Serve with sour cream. Here is a link that might be useful: Potato Pancakes

Lynn~Glad that you made it back it one piece & that DH was able to recover his wallet. There are still some good people in the world today. Besh~My toes are defrosted for now. LOL I don't think that I have very good blood flow in my broken foot yet. Dave said that it was cold last night but the knee that is giving me trouble was hot according to him. I'm reading the "Chronicles of Narnia" & it is so long that it is taking me a while but I'm really enjoying it. I don't know about Carrabelle, FL. I don't know much about the panhandle. Marci~I need to get with you so that we can figure out how to post some of the pictures of my little one. Let me know when you are coming to Tampa. Jen~It sounds like you got some really good gifts. I am supposed to be working on a scrapbook for Dave's parents' 50th wedding anniversary in July. I haven't been able to find the book. I may have to get it off the 'Net. QOD~My 16-y.o. niece is in Orlando playing soccer & we will probably go watch her or at least go & take her out to do something fun. She is a doll. She stays so busy that she doesn't have time to get in trouble. She is in the band, the school's soccer team & band & she has several of the honor's classes & she runs track, then she is in one of the soccer teams that is exclusive & you have to be picked & like this weekend, they go places for competition. Then Dave & I plan to watch movies & have some of the pomegranate martinis then we will have some Asti Spumanti while watching Dick Clark's show & toast in the New Year. This is pretty much a tradition for us. We were pretty sad the year that Dick Clark was too sick to do the show himself. I have to say that I am so thankful for good friends like each of you. With your help, I will get healthier this year. I'm having an MRI done on my knee on Tuesday. They will probably say that nothing is wrong but it has still been hurting along with my foot. I can tell that they are healing though. Love you each. Happy New Year. Patti :)

11º here in north central Minnesota, so not bad for this time of year. Supposed to stay about the same, with probable snow flurries.

I wanna be with JoAnn in Florida. Here in Southern Oregon it seems "bitterly" cold, temps hovering at 31-35, I know...not really that cold. Bright sun today and the sharp breeze is coming off the Mountains where we have snow (and grateful skiers). It is 5:15 and it is dark, dark outside......com'on old sun, get Moving.

After the warm fall/winter we've been having, today seems cold. It was 27, I think, but the wind was sharp. That is still WAY above zero so I'm not complaining. I have snow to share. No limit. I buried the money (from another thread) in the snow outside the back door. And I left the shovel stuck right beside it!
