Another Snowless December Day . . . .

Another Snowless December Day . . . .

Our morning is beginning with frost and light cloud cover.  We aren’t expecting any precipitation today or even tomorrow.  Our holiday weekend is expected to be wet but no snow.  Temperatures on Christmas should reach into the 50s, so much different from last year when we were snowed in. Our 11 AM temperature is 36°F (2°C), the humidity is 91%, and skies have a light cloud cover.  Winds are from the east at 3-5 mph, and the dew point is…

Becoming Sunny . . . . . .

Becoming Sunny . . . . . .

Our morning began with clouds which then moved off to the north.  Now our sky is almost clear and it looks like it’s going to be a very nice day.  It could be a little warmer but it is lovely for late December.  This is the first day of our holiday warm-up, and temperatures on Christmas could reach the mid 50s.  This isn’t good for snow lovers but I think we’ll get our share before winter’s end. Our 1:45 PM…

Sunny But Cold . . . . .

Sunny But Cold . . . . .

Yesterday was a miserable day to be out and about.  We did have strong winds, up to 40 mph, and intermittent snow showers which made driving very hazardous.  Most of our snow is gone but some still remains in shady areas, like my deck.  With the sun out, it appears to be quite nice, but temps will remain in the 30s with wind chills in the 20s.  It certainly does feel like winter.  Christmas Day will feel more like Easter…

A Snowy, Blustery Day. . …

A Snowy, Blustery Day. . …

Our morning started out with light snow showers which has produced about half an inch so far.  We aren’t expecting too much, just enough to brighten the landscape a bit.  I don’t think that it will last long since the ground is warm and temperatures will rise above freezing by the afternoon.  In fact, they already have.  The biggest issue today will be the wind, with gusts as high as 40 mph possible.  It’ll be a good day just to…

A Wet, Soggy Day . . . . .

A Wet, Soggy Day . . . . .

Rain moved in sometime overnight and has continued intermittently since then.  Radar is showing most of it pushing off to the east, so I don’t think that today will be a total washout.  Temperatures continue above average but fall to around where they should be by early next week.  Then by Christmas, the temps will be quite warm again, so no white Christmas for us this year. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 45°F (7°C), the humidity is 96%, and skies…

Rain On The Way For Our Weekend . . . . .

Rain On The Way For Our Weekend . . . . .

Our Saturday is beginning with cloudy skies but mild temperatures.   Normal temps will be back with us early next week, but then another bout of above average temperatures for the Christmas weekend.  This has been the pattern most of this year.  I’m not complaining, especially with what we dealt with last Christmas. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 46°F (8°C), the humidity is 63%, and winds are from the SE at 3-6 mph.  Our wind chill is 42°F (6°C) and the…

A Very Pleasant Friday . . . .

A Very Pleasant Friday . . . .

Today will be mostly sunny with highs near the record temperature.  Breezes are light, so not a bad day to be outdoors.  Yesterday was pretty windy, so it felt colder than what it actually was.  This is great weather considering that Christmas is only a week away.  I hope we don’t have to pay for this later, like in the spring. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 53°F (12°C), the humidity is 48%, and winds are from the SW at 5-9…

Continued Cold And Breezy . . . .

Continued Cold And Breezy . . . .

We have more clouds today than yesterday, and temperatures are a few degrees warmer, but with the wind, it doesn’t seem much nicer.  We are seeing the sun peek out a few times, but it has been mostly cloudy.  There hasn’t been any precipitation, and forecasts aren’t calling for any anytime soon.  Our December weather has really been nice. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 35°F (2°C), the humidity is 61%, and winds are from the SW at 3-8 mph.  The…

Our Coldest Day So Far . . . .

Our Coldest Day So Far . . . .

It feels downright frigid out there today.  Our high barely made it to the freezing mark, and the wind was brutal.  We are supposed to have milder temperatures closer to the holiday, and that’s fine with me.  A white Christmas doesn’t seem to be in the cards this year. Our 4:45 PM temperature is 32°F (0°C), the humidity is 63%, and skies are clear.  Winds are from the west at 8-16 mph, gusting to 25 mph.  The wind chill is…

It Really Feels Like Winter . . . .

It Really Feels Like Winter . . . .

Temperatures will barely make it above freezing today and no sun either.  We did received a little rain overnight, barely over a trace, and some areas were reporting snow flurries.  If it happened here, I didn’t see it.  Since the weather isn’t very nice today, it’s a good day for putting up the Christmas tree.  That always makes the day seem more cheery and bright.    So many people decorate their homes anymore, and it’s nice to see with it…
