It is mid-November with Thanksgiving and Christmas quickly approaching, but the weather this time of year is far from a Winter Wonderland. This past week has had temperatures reaching into the low 80s and sunny days are keeping spirits bright. For several years the Central Valley has hoped for a White Christmas sprinkled with snow days, but this year shows no promise of cool weather. Cuddling by the fire with hot chocolate and loved ones may be out of the picture this year with a consistent pattern of warm weather. We can only hope for cooler days ahead to prepare for the winter season.
