The weather has been in the 50s all the way to the mid to high 60s which is pretty unusual for Colorado in January. Britton and I are pretty happy about it though. We love summertime and this weather makes us feel like we’re in Puerto Rico -except that they would be freaking out about it being so cold -ha. But we’ve been out walking, cleaning out the chicken coop, we even thought about taking out the bicycles again!
It’s really making us have even more alegría about Puerto Rico and this potential new deal. And the chickens who have taken a two month vacation from laying eggs have started laying again! The sun is staying in the sky just a tad longer in the evenings so when I leave work it’s not complete darkness. Life is good! 🙂
Even the sunsets which are usually pretty grey and dark in the winter have been more vibrant and colorful.

But…and this is a big but…this is just a spring tease. Next Tuesday temperatures are supposed to drop to a high of 15. A HIGH of 15 accompanied by snow, wind and the like. Uggh. But at least we have this weekend; we have Puerto Rico excitement to keep us warm; and we know spring and summer will eventually arrive even if they keep teasing us for the next few months.
Now they are saying the high might not even be in the positive realm. Yikes.
NOAA weather forecast is grim. What does “near zero” mean. It is predicting -45 in Evanston Wyoming. Yikes is right.
Keep safe and Britton be careful on your commute. That is deadly cold.
NOAA:
Tuesday…Cloudy with a 30 percent chance of snow. Areas of blowing snow in the afternoon. Highs near zero. North winds 10 to 20 mph. Wind chill readings 25 below to 35 below zero.
Tuesday Night…Mostly cloudy. A 20 percent chance of snow in the evening. Lows 16 below to 20 below zero. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts to around 25 mph in the evening becoming light. Wind chill readings 25 below to 35 below zero.
Wednesday…Mostly sunny. Highs 9 to 13. Wind chill readings 15 below to 25 below zero in the morning.
Wednesday Night…Mostly clear. Lows 4 below to 8 below zero. Wind chill readings 10 below to 20 below zero after midnight.
That’s beyond brutal, especially those wind chill predictions. Stay warm and safe. Warming trend starting on Wednesday? We can’t complain too much in Sacramento, though we’ve had a colder than normal winter. In PR, highs are in the low 80s and lows in the low 70s.
