We only had two sunny days in January. They were Jan. 2 and Jan. 15. Oh sure, there were a few others where it peeked out for about two minutes, and that was it. But finally, today we’ll have Mr. sun present for a good portion of the day, and that will be lovely. What’s even better is that we are expecting a few more sunny days this upcoming week. Mother Nature is finally giving us a reprieve from the…
It will be a little cooler today than yesterday, with a minor cold front moving over us. Fortunately, it won’t last long, and warmer air will move in starting tomorrow. In fact, we could see highs in the low 50s by the end of the week. The meme above shows how much daylight we should gain through February, and it shows the northern states gaining the most. The dark days of winter are starting to come to an end. Our…
Although dreary weather will still be with us a few more days, next weeks sounds really good. Temperatures are supposed to be in the 40s all week and quite a few sunny days. Just seeing the sun again will put everyone in a better mood. We still have a little snow on the ground, but I’m sure that will be gone by tonight. A warmup will start today with highs expected in the mid 40s. I doubt that we’ll see…
More fog to start our day. We lost much of the snow from yesterday and there is only about half an inch left. The fog advisory is for this morning with the possibility of freezing rain. Temperatures are already rising so I don’t think that will happen. Visibility is only three quarters of a mile right now and it doesn’t seem as dense as earlier. There is no sun in the forecast until Saturday. Our 10 AM temperature is 35°F,…
We woke to a world of white this morning. The snow is wet and sticking to everything. It’s very pretty to look at but I’m betting that driving this morning wasn’t very fun. I’m glad that I don’t have to do that anymore. Our 9:30 AM temp is 32°F, the humidity is 97%, and skies are cloudy and the snow has now stopped. Winds are from the SE but calm at the present time. Visibility is 5 miles and the…
We have another dreary, cold day to deal with. At least it’s the end of January and we can look forward to spring coming in the next few months. This winter is passing so quickly, just like our summer did. Unfortunately, life passes by too soon. Our 4 PM temperature is 35°F, the humidity is 89%, and skis are overcast. Winds are from the SW at 8-13 mph, and the pressure is 29.87 in and falling. The dew point is…
. . . GO LIONS! After warm temps and rain of the past few days, most of our snow is gone. We received just over an inch of rain since Friday, and snow flurries were in the forecast for today. All we have gotten is a few raindrops. We aren’t expecting to see any sun this week but temperatures will remain well above the average. It is expected that this week will be mostly dry. Our 5:45 PM temperature…
I don’t remember ever having this many days in a row of dense fog. This morning was just cloudy, then the fog appeared around 1:30 PM. It is just as dense as it was the past two days. Heavy rain moved into our area overnight and there was over one inch in my rain gauge this morning. Much of the snow is gone. We just have patches left here and there. I almost forgot what a clear, sunny day looks…
We had heavy fog most of our Wednesday, and it remains this morning. The dense fog advisory expires at 11 AM. I haven’t seen fog like this in a long time and visibility was less than a mile much of yesterday. I hope it is gone this afternoon. The good thing is that temps were very mild and we lost quite a bit of snow. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 34°F (1°C), the humidity is 100%, and winds are calm. …
We were lucky yesterday and didn’t get any freezing rain. All the snow and ice on my deck has turned to slush and it shovels easily. We still have about 2 inches of snowpack and I expect that to be gone by late tomorrow. Extended forecasts are telling us that February will be mild, and I hope they are right. I’m just not cut out for these single digit and teen temperatures. This morning began with dense fog and it…
