Another Cold Day 2022

"Starlight Rose" Zinnia

Record "low" high temperature for this date in November.

And very cloudy all day.
It only got to 28 degrees today. Getting even that high was a struggle. The day's high also only lasted for a very brief time. Most of the day hoovered in the teens. Now that the cloud cover has finally cleared off, temperatures are dropping like a rock. Normal highs should be in the mid 50's. Instead, the current highs are below normal lows. Just eight days ago, it was around 80 degrees and unseasonably warm for November. Weather these days seems like a roller coaster.

*****************
When the weather flipped from 25 degrees above normal to 25 degrees below normal, I brought 3 of my zinnia plants indoors because they were still loaded with flowers. They still are. Even on a gloomy day.
