Okay, it's cold. Because I'm stubborn, I still continue to wear short sleeve shirts (with a jacket, I'm not insane!), despite these November highs being in the 40s some days here in Mississippi. The air is as dry as it is cold lately; so even when a cold front comes through, clouds are still minimal and rainfall is an afterthought. We thought we might get some rain this weekend...nay. Probably won't happen. Maybe some rain early next week (50% chance on Monday, not bad), but overall it's like an ice desert here in Mississippi.
The dew point today (Friday) is 19 degrees Fahrenheit. It would really have to get cold before we see even some frost. Very dry. And the winds are actually not too terrible--winds are in the teens today, but it could be worse.
I don't hate the cold weather, but it does remind me of my days growing up north of here (not too far north, Virginia to be exact) and seeing snow on a yearly basis. I wish the air wasn't so dry! I want clouds...and I really want to see some snow here. I think that Mississippi is a very beautiful state. The Mississippi State campus is also very nice; so I believe that just a little bit of snow would be gorgeous. Also, to see snow this far south this early in the year (or at all!) would be so out of the ordinary it would make everyone happy.
But I digress. Today will probably be the coldest of the next few days. The high today is in the 40s, and the temperatures will steadily rise with each new day. It will be frigid during each night though; temperatures with be well below freezing for the next few nights (until that chance of rain late Sunday night).
