Freezing is the word of this month already. Thankfully, we have no water or snow to deal with ice, but we are holding our breath to see what happens this weekend.

I am in Swansea and we had a slight coating of snow for Christmas.

It looks like we are in for a seesaw week of weather.

We are about to get some heavy rain and wind, and I am hoping all the decorating work the town and businesses did stays intact for the weekend.

We have gone quickly from light sweatshirts and sneakers to sweater, coat, scarf and warm boots.

We finally got some much needed rain. I certainly slowed down the outside decorations, but there is always next week.

Debbie MacInnis and I were going to The Barn in Oak Bluffs along Beach Road to play trivia.

The weather is still warm and yes there are a few of us still wearing flip flops.

It is November, and my October fuel bill was $18.

It is the end of October and the flip flops are still out and on. Yes, it is chilly in the morning and the temperature plummets at 3 p.m. like clockwork, but the in-between hours have been just beautiful.
