December is not completely over yet, but we have had more winter chill
November-December (113 hours) than we had entire last winter
November-March (102 hours). By Friday (New Year Day), we might even
exceed the winter two years ago (127 hours).

Yes, I know that winter does not start in November and is over before
the end of March. But my garden responds to chill that occurs from the
start of November until the end of March.

how much of the rains of the past few weeks
have been getting to you?

here it has been warmer than normal up until the past
few days when it has started to be winter again.

With a rain-year that runs 1 October through 30 September, we have had
1.02 inches so far. Last rain-year, we already had 5.03 inches by this
date.
