Yesterday was lovely and today should be just as nice. We took a drive out to Sleepy Hollow state park in Laingsburg, and couldn’t believe how many people were out there. The parking lots had more cars that we usually see in mid summer, and even the beach area was very active. The governor’s stay at home order isn’t working out too well. They keep giving us numbers of new cases of the virus, and the number of deaths, but…
Today looks to be quite nice with no rain in the forecast and highs near normal. The wind will be a bit brisk but that’s okay. We should see quite a bit of sun and that is always nice. I think we’ll take a ride out to the park today and enjoy the outdoors for a change. Our governor has released us from house arrest. In the midst of pending lawsuits, she finally gave in. Our 9:45 AM temp is…
Today is supposed to be cloudy but our morning is very sunny so far. Highs should reach near the normal mark and it should be a decent day, even if we don’t see much sun. There is no rain in the forecast until early next week, and the farmers are busy getting the fields ready for planting. The trees are starting to show some green and my daffodils are in full bloom. I love this time of year. Our 9:30…
It seems good to have a mild morning for a change. We received 0.27″ of rain yesterday and that seems to be over for a few days. The weekend isn’t looking too bad and our highs should reach closer to normal in the extended forecast. It’s about time! Our 9:30 AM temperature is 41°F (5°C), the humidity is 92%, and skies are overcast. Winds are from the NW at 1-5 mph and the dew point is 39°F (4°C). The pressure…
Yesterday was dry for the most part, but then snow showers began in the late afternoon and the snow accumulation was about 0.2″. Late last night, it warmed a bit and the snow changed to rain. Now there is no sign of snow. We will see our temperatures begin to moderate a bit today, and we should see highs closer to normal over he next week. We received 0.22″ of precipitation total yesterday. Our 9AM temperature is 37°F (3°C), the…
We should be seeing highs in the 60s this time of year and Mother Nature is giving us only 40s. What’s worse is that this is expected to continue through the weekend. We were having nicer weather in March. Yesterday brought intermittent snow showers which didn’t accumulate, but who wants to look outdoors and see snow falling the end of April? I sure don’t. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is 41% and winds are from the…
We woke to about half an inch of graupel this morning. Rain moved in about 11 PM last night leaving 0.13″ in my gauge. Temperatures fell, winds picked up and the rain changed to frozen precip. That will be the order of the day I’m afraid. At least we have a little sun this morning but that won’t do much to warm in up. Highs are only expected to reach near 40°. Our 9:15 AM temp is 36°F (2°C), the…
What is with all of this cold weather this April? It just can’t seem to warm up and stay warm this year. Now they are telling us that we have another bout of very chilly weather with snow coming over the next few day. It’s almost May and we still have snow in the forecast. As if dealing with this virus isn’t bad enough, then we have to put up with snow this late in the season. At least today…
After a day of intermittent snow showers and temps which were 10 degrees below normal, we finally have some sun and average temperatures. What’s even better is that the extended forecast is calling for more of the same. None of the snow accumulated and melted on contact, but this time of the year, who wants to see any snow? Our 10:30 AM temp is 48°F (9°C), the humidity is 65%, and winds are from the SW at 3-9 mph. The…
I wasn’t happy to see snow falling this morning but hopefully, this will be the end of it for the season. We could get up to an inch but for now, most seems to be melting on contact. Highs today will be about 20 degrees below normal but the weekend in looking quite nice. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 33°F (1°C), the humidity is 90%, and skies are overcast with light snow. The pressure is 29.99 in (1015.6 mb) and…
