No thunder here, just light rain. Temperature has been holding steady at 37 pretty much all day. Went into Mays Landing around noon, roads were completely clear, even the minor ones. But they were starting to flood in some spots, so if that freezes overnight it could be a mess until things warm up tomorrow.

This may be nice to have in the snow.

I think this why it is Called Winter

I think this why it is Called Winter

WINTER
The word "winter" stems from the Indo-European form "wed-", which also bore words such as "wet" and "water". Approximately two thousand years ago people speaking German used the word "wentruz" (literally meaning "wet season") to describe the rainy season that is Winter, and by one thousand years ago people speaking Old English had developed the word "winter".
