It's 77F in Kingston right now, 76F in Portland,

[malaise]

70°F In Mandeville and 64°F in the Blue Mountains.
In other words, it’s really cold here in JA tonight. 😀😀😀Out come the warm clothes and blankets

[Twoflower]

1. Show off.

[malaise]

3. No seriously

I just closed some windows😀😀

[Nictuku]

2. Reminds me of my Hawaii friends

Friends visiting San Francisco bay area from Hawaii always froze their tits off. (sorry for the humor, but that is how they described it) Colder than a Witches Left-Tit my friend J would say.

So it has been in the 30's-40's here. That 76F in Portland, that is not Portland Oregon, is it? (just wondering how it can be warmer further north than I am).

[malaise]

4. Portland in the Northeast of JA

😀😀

[Sympthsical]

5. I scraped ice off my garbage bins in NorCal this morning.

Not what I moved to this state for!

[malaise]

6. Well at least NorCal is getting lots of snow

so your drought and wild fires may not reoccur in 2023.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

9. It is a double-edged sword, as the rains spur a lot of growth

that become fuel after a long hot summer.

We are having an unusually brisk 59F here in Los Angeles today. Almost didn't wear shorts.

[Retrograde]

22. Depends if it keeps up like this

last year we got a lot of rain in November and December, then essentially nothing for 2 months, a few showers after that, and then into the dry season. We need sustained, moderate rain and snowfall - and for more than just a year.

[malaise]

33. Got Yah

Stay warm and dry

[Retrograde]

20. Happens most winters

Ice in the shady parts of the yard this past weekend, frost on the car and on the shady side of the neighbors' houses this morning. Luckily, hard freezes are rare - except for that time in 1991 when it got down to 22F

[LeftInTX]

7. It's 74 and humid at my house right now. But that will change

[malaise]

11. Parts of Texas are hotter than Jamaica

Tonight😀

[LeftInTX]

30. Yeah, it can get toasty, and then turn around too

[BumRushDaShow]

8. "64F in the Blue Mountains"

The coffee place (the coffee plants like that temp)!

[malaise]

10. You know what's interesting

Our best coffee grows there, but there’s pretty good coffee in Manchester (Mandeville is the Capitol of that parish).
Good spot😀

There are folks in Manchester with fireplaces.

15. I'm growing one in a pot (still young - about 4 years old now - they start flowering at 7)

(had one years ago in a pot that was flowering and fruiting but then got hit with mealy bugs)

They like a range of temperatures in the 60 - 80 range (and moist) although they will grow in hotter temps (but will often get leaf burn growing in full blazing sun). That is often why some growers have been planting them under banana trees to give them some shade since they do better as an understory or edge of the understory plant and they do well in elevated locations in the hills.

[malaise]

17. Good luck

this time😀

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Crossing fingers to get a couple beans in a few years to "roast"

[cilla4progress]

12. Omg for a second I thought you meant my home state -

Washington!

We have a Kingston and Blue Mts. here, too!

But 25 where I am!

[malaise]

14. LOL

Bad luck for you 😀
This iPad self edits😀😀💭

[cilla4progress]

23. Ha!

[ProfessorGAC]

13. It's 35F Here!

And starting to rain. Wind out of the southeast so going to be 46 tomorrow but rainy until noon.
We've been in the high 30s for a high for about 8 days now.
Not bad for December.

[malaise]

16. I hate the cold and the cold

hates me 😀

[KarenS]

19. sheesh,,,,,

our high was low 50s today and humid,,,, I am freezing! I live in the Phoenix area in the middle of the desert and I do not do well with cold either,,,,

I must agree with a response upthread that said 'showoff' 77 ~ indeed.

[malaise]

25. LOL

They may tell you the same for your 50😀😀

[Bettie]

21. 33 in Iowa

high was 36, so pretty decent for December, but rain, so it felt colder.

[malaise]

26. That would kill me

Soooo cold.

[Bettie]

28. I grew up in Wisconsin,

that's not even cold enough for more than a sweater! But, I hate heat.

My DH says some people heat efficiently, some cool efficiently, few do both.

SO, he's always cold and I'm always hot.

[IcyPeas]

24. freezing cold in los angeles too. (well.... not literally)

51° at 5:30 pm

⛄ ☃️

[tavernier]
