In less than an hour it will finally be above freezing!
And the sun is out. 
High of 43 today and 51 tomorrow. Nothing but 40's and 50s for the next 7 days, but then dropping down to the high 30's into the following weekend.
Looks to be only maybe 5 or so days in mid to late January where the highs will be below 30 degrees, and everything else appears to be pretty moderate for winter around here. Here's hoping we don't get another bomb cyclone to come around and ruin it for everyone again.
Looks like I'm probably going to be helping my buddy with his rental tomorrow. I'll also be going to my other friend's house and getting the electric done for his new over-the-pool-table light tonight if he isn't too busy at work.
In the mean time, I'd better get my vest on. Dropped the heat to 53 degrees in the house last night and I'm going to keep it there for the time being. But I can't be lounging around under covers all day. I've got to warehouse all my new acquisitions and get things ready for tonight and tomorrow.

Dry day for my walk and the sun was out. Sitting at 5C which is 40F.

Back from my walk on a not cold winter's day.

Dr appts done (for the week). Another slug of appts next week. I'll be happy when this slows down bc usually they find something wrong! Plus, I'm always sleepless the night before, so I usually have to take a nap after appts, it really cuts into my day.
But for now until next appt, I'm free.
We had almost 3/4" of rain yesterday with about 2" more for the next 10 days.
Since it's going to be drizzly for quite a number of days, I hope to get some indoor work done, especially de-cluttering.

Turns out I didn't even have to. I actually had the thermostat down to 52 all night and day, and not 53. I did turn it up to 55 at around 6PM just because I was doing stuff, but it's hardly going off at all at this temp, and when I'm moving I'm actually quite warm now in these clothes. I think I've officially adjusted to the cold now.
No electric done since my friend ended up busy tonight, but getting up early to help out my other bud tomorrow for sure now. Hopefully I can burn the rest of the bad gas off tomorrow on that trip and finally get some good gas in that tank.

Very happy for you that you're getting so much rain. Although I'm hoping that's not a bad omen of flood conditions for me in the spring.
Good luck with the decluttering.

Off to mah jong in the morning then a couple of errands afterwards.

Man... I've got it down at 52 and even when my hair was wet I'm not even cold anymore.
It's such a difference when we're well into the positive temps outside than when we're plunged into antarctic temps.
Good luck at Mah Jong tomorrow, Brenda.

Welp, there was no luck at mah jong today SIX. Though I managed to go out once. Something I couldn't do last week. I was so close 3 times to really good hands but just couldn't get the tiles I needed.
