Cool but not frigid and no snow or ice in the forecast so far this month. Dare I hope for a mild December? Dust storms in January? I'd like to be saying, months from now, gee, that wasn't much of a winter! We shall see.
You shouldn't debase yourself by worshipping an animal. If it shits in the dirt don't worship it. Even if it shits in a golden toilet, you should not worship it. It goes without saying that you shouldn't worship the toilet either. Not even a GOLDEN toilet. No, no, no. Don't do that.
