Everyone knows it's...

WINDY!!

If you were "trippin' down the streets of the city"... it's likely you'd be trippin', 'cause the wind might be blowing your feet out from underneath you.  I don't mean this to be a daily weather report, but as winter moves in, it does become a hot topic.  Hot is the key word today, with the current temp (just after noon) of 82º and wind out of the southeast at 30, gusting into the 40s.  It's supposed to blow like that all day, all night, and clock around to the NNW by tomorrow, with lower temps and even higher gusts.

Not much in the way of precip predicted with this front.  The north side of this same front is going to cause blizzard conditions in the upper Midwest - we'll see daytime highs in the 60s.

I went out to check lines on Wild Blue... looks like she wants to go somewhere, 'cause she is pulling on her lines... or, it could be that wind.  ;-)

What a winter evening looks like in the Tropical Tip...


Yeah, the trees are blowing.  You can see some Christmas lights on the houses.  Pretty sky.  I'm dreaming of a balmy Christmas... supposed to be 75º, breezy, and mostly sunny on Christmas Day.

Except for being in salt water I envy you being able to stay in the water year around if you want to.:))

Hi Bill. Sure is nice to have the boat right out the door of the house. We bought this lot because of the canal/dock situation. On on a day like today where it's blowing like stink, it's nice to have the protection provided by the houses along the canal.
