| Spring will be here soon! The weather has been really nice here this Fall and it looks like the trend will continue through early winter. We had a few cold nights in the past week which brought us the first killing freeze of the year for all the tender tropicals, but people do still have potted plants outside that are managing to do well. No snow in the forecast and every night is 30F or better. Tomorrow will be sunny and in the upper 50s. Should be a nice day! Hoping for some spring weather soon (even though we have had very little real winter weather yet!) -Alex |

| It's 12:30 am on December 22 and it's still 62 here at the Delaware Beaches. I saw mosquitoes out on my back pitch tonight. My spring camellias are blooming too early and my crocuses are all popping up. The tropical palms that were planted as summer annuals around the resorts are all still alive and green. This is nuts. |

| In many years if this has continued into mid January it spells trouble for springtime,possibly meaning cold weather then. |

| too bad it doesn't mean it will start getting warmer also. Having said that we've only had one night drop below 20 this December and it's only fallen into the low 40s the last couple of nights. The next week we are supposed to see a lot of sun and temps in the mid 30s-40. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop but this has been one of the mildest falls I can ever remember. |
