That sounds a lot like this week is supposed to be here. High 20s projected for tonight with a high on Friday of 74.

By now we should've had colder weather, so when we do get the correct seasonal weather, it's going to be a lot colder than we have now. So far the only really cold weather is when the wind is wild, and we've had days with 18-20 mph winds. Then I have to "bundle up" as the saying goes.

Elevation is higher there, isn't it? We're pretty low here in Taunton. You may see some flakes in the next day or two, but likely none will stick for long.
I am unsure of the exact elevation of my house, but I am at the bottom of a number of hills, and mountains rise up all around this area. I am not on one of the mountains. I have been told that part of my property is below sea level and in a flood plane/wetlands zone (permitting for repairs...). I know it will get much colder when actual winter hits. Temps in the negatives are not uncommon in deep winter. Though for there to be such a sharp drop in temperature in an hour is pretty rare here. It caught me off guard, especially since temps earlier this week were high 70s.
I should clarify, it didn't go from 70 to 35... yesterday was mid 60s, this afternoon was hovering around 55, cold and rainy, at about 8pm it was still around 50 - then at 9 I was freezing, checked weather and is was 35 outside, and had dropped to below 60 inside (had heat off because of higher temperatures yesterday and today). So it dropped about 15 degrees in an hour.
We just had our first batch of Santa Ana winds (3 days of windy conditions and single digit humidity-- making high fire danger). Fortunately they were moderate... 40 to 60 mph winds, with some 65-70 mph gusts. Bad ones have gusts over 100 mph here.
Being about 20 miles west of Pasadena (Rose Bowl/Rose Parade), we're in a narrow valley between two mountain ranges (San Gabriels and Verdugo). This creates a funnel which makes the Santa Anas (when they happen) particularly bad. When the big gusts come, it sounds like a freight train headed for us. The whole house shakes, and in rare instances, windows can blow out.YIKES!! I have problems even thinking about the 18-20 mph winds we occasionally get. I can't imagine what 100 mph winds would be like.
Over the years, I've lost several roofs and once had a 100+ foot tree crash into the house with a branch penetrating the bedroom ceiling and stopping about 18" from where I was sleeping. I remember that date especially because it was 9/12, and for that waking instant, though we were being attacked.

Yipe! We do get severe winds here but there is no funnel to channel them. Just a lack of mountains to break the winds up. From what I've read you do indeed get worse winds at this time of year than we do.

Main Forum?You could probably have just created in the main forum, as it's a holiday greeting, and not related to anything specific.
That said, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Dana, and to everyone else that's celebrating it today!!
Yes, the Meadow. That's the main forum where Today's Weather is a post thread.
