What's the weather like where you are?

Last month I had to repair the outdoor sensor array and a couple of days ago the AC to DC converter that powers the indoor display quit.

I had a couple of security cameras crap out on me over the past year. At first I thought it was because these were technically indoor use devices and I had them mounted outside (protected from the weather, though). I discovered that it was the AC/DC adapters that failed and replacing them with a cheap 5V phone charger got them back up and running. I do think the useable life of these things is really engineered to reflect the mfg. recommended replacement cycle and not an actual usable lifecycle.

In weather related news, our first Nor'easter was snow. Christmas eve the Nor' easter was the kind that pulled up southern air and was warm rain, so the snow is pretty much gone except for a few pile. New Year's Eve will be a repeat of the rain, so it seems. I for one will be out dancing in the rain, celebrating the END OF 2020!!!!

Sorry weather is in my forecast overnight and into tomorrow. I have plans to ring in the new year at the cabin with some friends. It might be a bit dicey trying to leave tomorrow. Ice and then snow is how the advisory reads with an accumulation of up to a tenth inch of ice and four inches of snow. Currently 28.8°F, no wind, with the barometer falling.
 
As I just said in another thread, the TV stations are noting that today is a Pasadena "Chamber of Commerce, picture postcard" day, i.e., warm, sunny, clear blue sky, which would normally be enjoyed by millions of visitors along the Rose Parade route, with the beautiful, snow-capped San Gabriel Mountains as a backdrop. Around the globe, people watch and wish they could be here. But not this year! That's okay. It's still beautiful and I, for one, am extremely grateful to be around to experience it. Considering the heartache so many other families have experienced lately, I don't have a thing to complain about, least of all the weather.
 
I rang in the new year at the cabin with some friends. It was a great time and we awoke to this.

I'm guessing between five and six inches of heavy wet snow. It wasn't so much that we had no trouble returning home. We were lucky for many places received more snow and or freezing rain. I see that some places in North Texas received nearly a foot of the white stuff.

Oh dear God I am SO HAPPY not to be there any more! I just posted a pic in another thread; I'll put it here, too, since it's applicable:

That was one of my fountains at my house in Carrollton (a far North Dallas suburb). See why this native Southern Californian hated living there? :eek:
 
It was decent today and the forecast is mid fifties for the next couple of days. A wintery mix for Wednesday but hey... it's that time of year. I'll take the fifties when available.
Currently 32.9°F with zero wind.
