❄️ I Am Back, But The Weather Is Not (The Pre-Christmas Blues)
It was a good visit with Susan’s friend from Florida. It was eye-opening for her, and for me, it was a learning experience. I witnessed her patience and her ability to cut through during some of the minor episodes and communicate with her. There is not a lot you can do during more challenging episodes. I will hold off on anything further until after her appointment two weeks from today.
😴 Seriously Boring Pattern Takes Hold
As for the weather, we are fully engulfed in a seriously boring pattern—more common than not this time of year. The pre-Christmas blues as we know them. The sky is not falling (neither is the precipitation).
Early winter conditions persist with the big trough in the eastern half of the US. Snowball fights in New Orleans the other day, 25 below zero in North Dakota, and a stubborn storm train that surfs the ridge over the West and drops the systems into the Midwest and East.
I am left with very little to discuss. My plan is to blend some weather education and talk about the Christmas Storm over the coming days.
My focus for the coming posts will be on specific topics based on your feedback, as well as a few of my personal favorites.
As we get closer to the Christmas Storm, I will dig deeper into it. So please, let me know what topics you are wondering about. I don’t do hypotheticals, but that leaves plenty of other interesting subjects!
Did I mention I am expecting a storm on or near Christmas?
