Default Global Warming is Killing Me !

OK ; out of kegerator space so I need to put the kegs in the garage, force carb and bottle a six at a time (yup from the Keg). It should be a happy 42 degrees in Southern NY.

I'm outside in my shorts and it's north of 70 degrees and I don't have a chance in hell in carbing these kegs. The whole bloody month has been balmy.

We've enjoyed nice weather all month and today I woke up to 34 degrees. I just put a six pack of Widmers Snow Plow outside to chill.

It's up to 39 degrees now. Got a fire going in the fireplace. Whoo Hooo

It has been above average ~65% of the time this year.
I think we might be 20+ straight days above average.

It will be 78 today.

It might drop below average on Sunday.

That stuff is great. Silky smooth milk stout that's like desert in a bottle.

It's between 55 and 70 degrees in NY, but here in southern NM, it's SNOWING!

Just doesn't seem right. Cold in the south, warm in the north except where I'm at. It's just above freezing right now. I don't mind the cold weather a bit though at least for now.

If I had a pumpkin, I would say the frost was on the pumpkin this morning. Just below freezing, which is nominal.

You don't want the Snow Plow too cold, 45F is about right. With all the flap about Longshot, it should be noted that Snow Plow was the first of the Widmer Collaborator brews.

I'm taking advantage of the cool temps and cold crashing my pale ale before kegging.
