It was 70 on Saturday, 65 Sunday and 60 on Monday.

We still have not had a prolonged freeze here, there have been a few night time lows in the 20's but nothing is normal.

Can't remember that happening ever, though I do remember one when it was 27 below.

however, schools all along a 140-mile stretch of I25 are closed today. we could get ten inches out of this storm.

I could see ( and have seen ) a warm day or two now and then, but this fall has been too warm too long for this to be a one-off fluke.

And what with the abundant rainfall since late September leaving the ground saturated since then, I've mowed my lawn for the "final time" this season.....4 times in a row now.

Rest of the time it's 40s overnight, 50s day, through Christmas Eve.

This time last year, we were buried and heading into the coldest winter I've had up here, and per the locals, among the coldest in memory

Oh, and my red russian kale, leeks and sorrel are still growing, albeit very slowly due to lack of sun!

Now cooling off to ....72.
In Dec.

Weather service has been forecasting a cooling off period for the last week, keeps moving the date back every morning.
