31 here and foggy still. Won't warm up much. Just to 35 or so.
December Weather - dead of winter!
Thank you, sunkissed
Been pretty mild around our neck of the woods. Mid 30s during the day. Kinda gray tho. This mkrning it is only 17. A very frosty morning with the cars glistening. So glad I do not have to work this morning.
Up to 77° today, we're going to grill some burgers! ☺
Red sky this morning, but here that means nothing.
They are calling for partly cloudy and a high of 67F.
Currently 47F.
Rough sea and rainy day at Montaña de Oro State Park
Trade winds are weakening and becoming light and variable. Some cloud, showers overnight, temp aroundmid 70s. Tomorrow should be about the same and then on Monday and Tuesday we may have a storm system sweep through from the the northwest bringing heavy showers and thunderstorms. Behind that system they are forcasting brisk Northerly winds which will bring our temps down where we are to upper 60s, maybe upper 50s at night.
Just right for Christmas.
Lava now O.6 miles from Pahoa and the flow is slowing. Back in November the active flow crept into peoples back yards and took out one house then stopped. Maybe this flow will do the same and stop right on the edge of town. We can only hope.
31º all day, but overcast & southerly wind makes it feel cold.
Around 40 and still cloudy out. I haven't seen the sun in a long time and it will be quite some time still before I do apparently.
62° this morning at sunrise, High of 79°...how about that! Sunny now, but a very good chance of rain this afternoon as the next cold front sinks down. I'm in shorts and flip flops this morning.
Kelli such gorgeous shots, I do love California coastline, one day gonna get back over there and cruise it again.
They are calling for a high of 71F. It doesn't need to get warmer than that this time of year but it will.

This is Willow Creek picnic area in Big Sur. It is down a steep road and almost under the highway. It was a nice little secret find though I'm sure in the summer we wouldn't have it all to ourselves. I'm not sure why it is called a picnic area when there are no tables, but it did have outhouses. Those brushy trees in the first picture are the willows of Willow Creek.
Hot and humid today ahead of the approaching weather system. Blue skies with fluffy white clouds. Near 80f. Have to work in the shade today.
Love those photos Kelli. Must have looked really nice before they put in the highway
43 and damp. Been misting off and on all day. I thought the sun was going to break through the clouds early this afternoon but that didn't happen. Still not sure when the sun will shine again. If Seattle has my sunshine I want it back. lol
65° this morning with 96% humidity, ugh. Rained good all night long, rain gauge says 4 inches. Sun is trying to peak out now, High 79° and a chance of more showers today.
My Christmas cactus blooming....
They are calling for a high of 75F. What I'd really like is some rain but there is none in the forecast. It was really windy last night. There were palm fronds laying on the street all over and the pool at the gym had some debris in it.

This area is called Sand Dollar. It's in Big Sur again. The bird is a Steller's jay. We had no food but he came around just in case.
Wonderful photos Sunkissed and Kelli.
Quoting the weather persons here - Flash flood watch, severe thunderstorms are possible for the small islands with possible hail. Blizzard warning up for the summits of Mauna kea and Mauna Loa. Heavy snow possible.
We shall wait and see.
Lava now just under half a mile from Pahoa shopping center. Moving slowly, causing a lot of stress
44 and rain all day. Chance of rain, snow and/or ice tomorrow. Depends on temps.
What beautiful Jay bird, Kelli.
70° this morning at sunrise, that is warm for this time of year. High 81°, sunny now, but a chance of rain. We turned AC on last night....crazy for December.
They are calling for a high of 71F though I don't know how it can be only 71F when it is already 68F. I would like a nice, rainy day but it's not in the forecast.

This is the Mill Creek Picnic area
Light snow.
33º
No snow here yet but we did have sunshine this morning before the clouds moved back in. 38 and dark currently.
What is sunshine ?
Still 35º here, but dark.
Been spitting snow or raining all day.
LOL!! Here's the funny part about all this crazy weather. My cousin is in town from North Carolina. He said it's all dead and brown up there currently. He comes home expecting the same thing and instead sees all this green. Shocked him pretty good. lol. We haven't had a deep freeze since the Polar Vortex.
Woke up to cloudy skies. Flash flooding occurring on Maui and North end of the Big Island.
By 1.30 the heavy rain started in our area. Eased up by 4.30pm but its getting dark and temp is already down to 66f. Light dusting if snow on mountain tops. Overnite and tomorrow is forecast to be rough weather. Flash Flood watch for all islands until Wed 6pm and blizzard warning still in place for mountain summits. But its all "could be:" so have to wait and see.
Lava flow has stalled for now. No forward movement for last 24 hrs. Lots of upslope breakouts which is draining the supply of lava to the front of the flow. So there is still activity but its back upslope but could flow down again over the coming weeks.
I can't believe it was 75° this morning when I got up, that is like August temperatures. Really windy and clouds racing across the sky, heavy storms expected today as a front comes down.
High today 83°, low tonight 58° and tomorrow only a high of 68° and sunny, so at least Christmas will be cooler.
Stay safe Mike, at least the lava is taking a break.
Pepper that is crazy, NC has seen some pretty cold temps already.
The weather has been very calm around here so far this winter. No snow. Maybe get some tonight. It is raining now been all night. Fine with me I am not feeling good. So no reason to go any where. It is 38 and chilly rain.
I almost forgot you guys today, sorry.
Microb, isn't there a type of lava called pahoe?
They are calling for a high of 72F. It is hazy sunny. I am looking forward to tomorrow, high of 57F.

Merry Christmas to all my weather friends
Well the weather did not happen where we are. Heavy shower yesterday afternoon and some light rain after that and that was it. There is snow on the mountain peaks and flooding in other parts of the islands but were lucky. Should be nice for Christmas.
Kelli - two main types of lava Pahoehoe and A'a. The pahoehoe is very fluid and flows at varying speeds. It usually flows through lava tubes from the source to the front of the flow with breakouts occurring when the tube collapses That's what we have near Pahoa after flowing about 12 miles from the source.
The A'a is like clinker. It moves very slowly and is usually high at the front. Movement is detected by seeing the clinker like hot rock fall the front and tumble forward.
We will be the last to see Santa. Usually his sleigh is nearly empty but he does take a well earned rest on Waikiki beach. He detaches the reindeer on the grassy upland slopes of the big island cause they don't like the sand. As for the helper elves they get up to mischief all across the islands.
Happy Christmas to all.
35 and cloudy with some drizzle off and on all day.
Rain the past few nights , with 40's 50's for high ,, tonight cold as temperatures are falling to 20's and 30's
possible 2 to 3 inches of snow for Christmas Eve .. tonight ,,
Merry Christmas to All !!!
Windy this morning and they are calling for a high of 58F which is fine with me but I think it will get warmer since it is already 50F at the house and the sun isn't really up yet.

A few pictures from two weeks ago from Moonstone Beach at Cambria. I sure miss it. It was peaceful and no neighbors blasting the music. Do you believe they were blasting it on Christmas morning? I know we're supposed to love our enemies but I would love if they moved away.
