It’s no surprise that the groundhog saw his shadow today, but regardless, it’s a beautiful morning. I just wish it was warmer. We are under the influence of another Polar Vortex and they are getting tiresome to be sure. Our snow cover has been reduced to about two inches where snow remains, but about one third of the ground is bare. There is another system heading our way for the weekend which could dump up to 3-4 inches of new…
Will our weather ever stabilize? This swinging back and forth is getting annoying. Yesterday’s warmup got rid of about half the snow cover. Now, today, temps will be dropping all day and the frigid weather will be back with us once again. At least it is now February and spring is just around the corner. As I gaze out my window this morning, we have lost about half our snow cover and there is only about 50% coverage now. Once…
Our morning is starting out with partly cloudy skies and very strong winds. Since the snow cover is very light, it is blowing over where we cleared yesterday. Temperatures should reach the upper 30s today so we should have some melting. Other than than it won’t be very pleasant for being out and about. Tonight will be the full, blue, blood moon. It is questionable whether we will see it depending on the cloud cover. Our 9:45 AM temp is…
Those were the words of a local meteorologist in describing this storm. One to two inches overnight and into Monday morning was the prediction, but it strengthened through the day and we received just over five inches total. Some areas received nine plus inches. Along with it came some very cold temps which are expected to remain over the next week. So I guess this snow will be around for a while. Today is supposed to be mostly sunny but…
The forecast called for 1-2 inches of snow overnight for us. So far, we have 4 and it is still coming down. It is light and fluffy, quite pretty actually. How fast our weather can change. Two days ago, folks were out in light jackets and sweatshirts, today back to winter gear. But it’s January! This is what is supposed to be normal for us. I know the roads are bad and I’m so glad that I don’t have to…
Our Sunday is starting out with a little sun but that is not expected to last. Yesterday was beautiful except for the strong winds. We went on a horse-drawn wagon ride at our local nature conservancy which was a fund raiser. It was supposed to be a sleigh ride but Mother Nature didn’t cooperate, and at least we didn’t freeze. Temps reached the lower 50s but the winds made it feel much colder. Today won’t be as warm but the…
Today’s temperatures will continue much above normal and there is no snow to be found anywhere. We were supposed to go on a sleigh ride today at the Nature Conservatory this afternoon, and I guess that will be a wagon ride instead. At least we won’t be freezing. Highs yesterday reached the low 50s and with plenty of sun, it felt even warmer. Today won’t be quite as nice because of strong winds and the temperatures won’t get quite as…
This weather is crazy with below normal temps for a few days, then above normal following. It can’t seem to make up its mind. We are scheduled to go on a sleigh ride on Saturday, and of course, all the snow melted. So it looks like it will be a wagon ride instead. At least we won’t be freezing as temps are expected to rise into the mid to upper 40s. It’ll be fun regardless. Our temps have been rising…
Once again, Mother Nature is reminding us that it is too early in the season for mild weather. At least we have lost most of our snow, getting us ready for the next round. There are no pending storms on the horizon for us at this time, but we all know how quickly that can change. Temperatures for the next week are expected to be near normal to slightly above. We never did get the accumulation that was predicted for…
This morning was quite mild with the temp round 40. Since then the temperature has been falling and is now at the freezing point. We had drizzle to start the day and now it is snowing. The forecast is calling for less than an inch of snow with the possibility of freezing rain. Our current snow is almost gone and there isn’t any real accumulations expected anytime soon Our 2:30 PM temp is 32 (0°C), the humidity is 89%, and…
