Just curious, what's the weather like where you;re at.

It's wonderfully gorgeous here in southwestern Arizona. We need a fleece blanket at night, but we can still wear t-shirts during the day. The past few years, it was too hot at Christmas time to wear the traditional Christmas clothes, so I'm hoping we continue in this fashion. We may yet have a cold Christmas!

much warmer here,had a day this week of 60 degrees, which is way wacky for this time of year, not that Iam complaining, last few days in the high 40s and night in the 20s, cloudy and a little rain at our place, we are close to the foothills so we get wetter weather than town. I will take rain over snow anyday, as I hate to drive to town to work everyday in it.

We woke up to dense Tule (two lee) fog this morning that reduced visibility to about 100 feet, and 39 degrees. About 10, the fog burned off and the sun came out. High was 63, and it is now 47 and clear. We will probably have fog in the morning again. We are famous for our fog. In the past, we even had a Fog Festival.

Here is an aeriel photo of what this part of California looks like from November to about February: http://imgs.sfgate.com/c/pictures/2002/02/11/mn_tulefog.jpg

You jinxed all of us - our first juicey wet storm has arrived. Started raining this morning early and not expected to stop for two more days. Now where did I put those knee-high rubber boots? The horse's rain blankets? I don't want to go out

Sorry!

Many crops rotted on the ground & hard to be turned under. Hurray for federal assistance... :/

Seriously, they have NEVER waiting until the middle of November to harvest the cotton, either.

We have mostly corn, soybeans and wheat in our neck of the woods. Farmers have harvested in November before, but I don't ever remembering them hoping that the kernels haven't rotted in the field. It's nuts when I look at a horse feeding bucket that I've left out and it's 7 inches full of water 1 1/2 weeks after being turned over. Yet, there are still cornfields not yet harvested.

I think modern pioneer mentioned this, but I'd like to repeat it. Food prices will go UP this winter. Bank on it.

I guess if we didn't grow it and can it, we better shop for it and stock up on it.

I'm not if farming country for grains so I don't know. I did read something that said, that the harvest of grains was pretty substantial but that the quality was hurt in a lot of places. So no shortages but maybe grains that can't be used normally?

A lot of crops on the west coast did fine, if not better than normal, so some of this will even out . . . but some crops we just don't grow over here so much . . . like corn & soybeans.

Since I've been in Georgia this whole freakin month, I'll report from here....today, in Jesup, it was 76. All of GA has been pretty mild all November....although the nights are getting cooler. No frost yet, but you need a sweatshirt for sure!
