      It is 25 F.(C) at 10:30 AM, high today of 31F (-56C) with a low tonight of 14F ( -10C) looking at Wed morning -1F ( -18C) with wind out of the NW at 20 to 30 MPH so we will have a cold wind chill with that.  The up and down of our weather as it is getting closer to winter.  Australia weather for Dec 11, Wed, low of 49F (9C) with a high of 75F (24C) clear conditions wind gusts are up to 8 mph.  As Evelyn would say it is very nice out for a spring day.  Stay safe, stay warm, and southern hemisphere stay cool.

I just want to ask what your favorite Christmas tradition is?  Mine would be getting a live tree and decorating it.  I have made my potato donuts for years as gift baskets for ones to have on Christmas morn.  I have been known to do over 32 baskets, and they are fresh so Christmas Eve day I am making 2 to 3 batches of donuts.  I have cut back on the number of baskets but still do some. I made them for a gathering in Australia with family and they were a hit.  The hardest part for me was heading up the oil on the stove with a candy thermometer.  I did get the oil too hot, so had to cool it down.   I started making these in the winter of 1977.   That is a few years ago to make this a Christmas tradition.  Share if you want what is one of your Christmas traditions.  Thanks, stay safe, stay warm, or stay cool
