I'm sure you wish it were a month ago and you were driving on dryish 50 degree dirt, but some years are just like that.
I remember a few years..... One I finished corn on thanksgiving day, but there was mid and 5 inches of snow at that time that year. The last week I could go,out a couple hours each morning, could combine until it broke through, thrn drive to the end of the field, don't try to finish a round or anything, just get out now! Probably close to what many of you are dealing with this year.
Another year the corn didn't dry down, in the 80s. We left 10 acres stand, I combined it in February. We got little snow, and that was strong tuff corn, it worked great that year. Nicest corn I harvested that year. Think it was 40% moisture in November still, but came out pretty nice in February, ground it for cattle feed by the end of April was nice corn.
Every year is different.
Looking good. Forecast probably has you motivated a bit.
I hear as of yesterday, a fella 10-15 miles from me has 500 acres left to go.

In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
