Unremarkable

The last couple of days have not been extreme in any way. Not extremely wet, nor dry. Not extremely cold but definitely not warm either. No windstorms or biting east winds. No sunshine or scuttling clouds, only the thick fog blanketing the area and temperatures keeping right near the freezing mark for the last three days and nights without fluctuations.

It is remarkable that nothing is remarkable at all during this in-between time of storm systems that we are used to during the winter months.

Down in the valley, they have seen the fog lift occasionally. I have seen a few pictures on the social web about sunrises and sunsets. Here on the farm, it looks like dusk all day long and it is hard to tell if the sun is setting or the thickening clouds just make it look that way. We have to look at the clock to tell the difference, I remarked yesterday that we were late to get the evening chores started since the day was ending but it was only 3pm. It was the time we typically start the chores this time of year. Nothing all all remarkable here.

And speaking of this time of year, Winter Solstice has passed and now the daylight of each day is getting longer. A whole minute to minute and a half will give us that natural light that seems to make everyone a wee bit happier during the darker days of the year even if it is hard to tell with all the thick fog obscuring the view. Though not remarkable at all, the thought of more daylight gives me hope that I will be able to get my tasks/chores/jobs caught up for once rather than running out of daylight each work day.

Forecasters are calling for the next week to run five to ten degrees warmer with less fog and no storms on the near horizon. The possibility of another unremarkable week sounds just fine to me!
