Temperature Grid: 2024

The pattern is by Climbing Goat Designs, although I didn’t use their colors. I used the colors I've been using since 2018 just to be consistent. The fabric is 20 ct Lugana in the color Little Boy Blue by Zweigart.

Highs for December ranged from 15°F to 55°F

Lows ranged from 4°F to 45°F

Largest span: December 7 (High 50°F & Low 24°F) for 26 degrees

Smallest span: December 17 (High 39° & Low 33°) for 6 degrees

No, I don't live at O'Hare Int'l Airport. That's just the closest official weather station to me, yet it's still far enough away that I can't guarantee the temperature there is the same as in my town, so I didn't feel comfortable labeling it as the temperatures for my town.

Just getting around to posting these now that it's been weeks since I sent them in, but here's my second series of maps for @jayrockin‘s Runaway to the Stars project! This is the home planet of their Avian species of aliens, and being predominantly ocean-covered and having an obliquity of only 11 degrees, these factors result in a somewhat more stable, less seasonally variable climate than we see on Earth. Every image here is helpfully (hopefully) captioned, but for a quick summary, these maps represent the elevation data (with and without a color gradient and water systems); the seasonal ice extent (limited to the Equinoxes and an Annual Average since the Winter and Summer sea-ice extents aren’t that different and there’s very little land ice outside the poles); and maps showing the Average Annual Temperature, Total Annual Precipitation, a combination of the two along with a key, and, finally, a map broken down into distinct zones based on temperature and precipitation, ice cover, mountains, seasonality, and Continentality vs Oceanity, based loosely on the Trewartha climate classification system.

Temperature Butterflies 2023

The pattern is by StitchinMommy on Etsy, although I didn’t use her colors–I used the colors I’ve been using since 2018 to be consistent. The fabric is 18 ct. aida in the color Glacier by Vintage Needle Arts. The photo makes it look like a Wedgwood blue, but it's more of a Robin's egg blue that my camera somehow refuses to see and that I can only color correct to Wedgwood without blowing out the butterflies. 😠

Highs for December ranged from 33°F on December 19 to 59°F on December 25. It was one of our warmest Christmases, but it's an El Niño year and that usually means a mild winter for us.

Highs for 2023 ranged from 11°F on February 3 to 100°F on August 24. That's the first triple digit temperature since I started stitching these patterns, although not the first we've ever had. But I got to use a new color, so yay?

Temperature Typography 2022

The pattern is by StitchinMommy on Etsy, although I didn’t use her colors–I used the colors I’ve been using since 2018 to be consistent. The fabric is basic 20 ct. white lugana.

Highs for December ranged from -1°F on December 23 to 59°F on December 29. Yes, those days are only 6 days apart. It was quite the ride.

Highs for 2022 ranged from -1°F on December 23 to 99°F on June 21.

I actually finished this on New Year's Day, but I've been waiting for a sunny day to take a picture so the yellows would show up. Yes, I had to wait this long for the sun to come out.

Temperature Map 2021

The pattern is by StitchinMommy on Etsy, although I didn’t use her colors--I used the colors I've been using since 2018 to be consistent. The fabric is 14 ct. aida in the color Summer Sky by Jobelan.

Highs for December ranged from 23°F on December 7 to 64°F on December 15. Highs for 2021 ranged from 2°F on February 14 to 94°F on July 26 and August 24.

Temperature patterns are becoming more popular on Etsy, so it looks like I'm going to be doing these for many more years.

Temperature Map 2020

Pattern by StitchinMommy on Etsy, although I didn't use her colors. I used the colors I used for 2018 and 2019 just to be consistent.

Highs for December ranged from 36°F to 57°F

Lows ranged from 7°F to 22°F

Largest span: December 23 (High 56°F & Low 25°F) for 31 degrees

Smallest span: December 8 (High 35° & Low 32°) for 3 degrees

Yes, I will be doing this again next year. And probably every year until I run out of patterns I like.

Temperature Map 2019

Highs for December ranged from 24°F on December 10 to 62°F on December 26. Highs for 2019 ranged from -11°F on January 30 to 95°F on July 20.

That's it for this piece of plastic canvas. This year I plan to do the highs and lows, and I also need to squeeze in an extra day for leap year, so I'll be using the same colors with a different pattern.
