Looking at the national weather map, today is much more quiet than the past two, with the snow storm and severe weather having moved off to the east. High pressure is now dominating most of the country and I’m sure it’s a relief to those in Kansas and Missouri. Unfortunately, our temperatures haven’t risen much, so no help from Mother Nature in the thawing department. It doesn’t seem to be any happening in the near future either. I guess we’re…
We sure can’t complain seeing what’s happening in Kansas and Missouri. My brother lives in DC and they’re expecting as much as a foot of snow. But the areas with the ice are hurting. Lots of power outages and snow on top of ice. We had our share of that back in December of 2013 . . . .no power for Christmas Day. I can’t believe it was that long ago. I haven’t heard much yet about the storm which…
Our day began with clear skies and sun. Now we have overcast skies and snow flurries. The central portions of the country are being buried under snow and ice. Originally, we thought that some of that would come our way, but we lucked out once again. Although we have very chilly temperatures, our snow cover remains at about 1.5″. The little snow showers that we get aren’t adding to that. Most of these are quick lake effect showers and aren’t…
Today will be cold and no relief is sight. We have about 1.5″ of snow cover at this time. The winter storm expected early next week will remain well to our south, so no problems for us expected from that one. There are no temps above freezing expected for us anytime soon, so guess we may as well get used to what we have. Our 2 PM temp is 22°F, the humidity is 72%, and winds are from the W…
The deep freeze is upon us. Yesterday saw no thawing and we won’t see it today either. In fact, I don’t expect any melting for at least a few weeks. The big snow storm is still coming but will remain well to our south. It seems that Kentucky and Tennessee will get the brunt of it. Snow lovers will be disappointed. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 23°F (-5°C), the humidity is 91%, and skies are cloudy but I see the…
We had a few snow showers yesterday, but not enough to really add to the ground cover. I guess I’d call it a trace of snow. We had a little melting, but that’s not going to happen today. We can still expect a few snow showers through the weekend, then no precip in the forecast through next Wednesday. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 26°F (-3°C), the humidity is 80%, and skies are overcast. Winds are from the west at 6-11…
We woke to a white world this morning. We had a mix of snow and rain most of yesterday which left us with 2 inches of slush or an icy mix of snow and ice, which ever you prefer. We have snow flurries once again this morning but not enough to accumulate. A follow-up on the storm expected Monday, from what I’ve seen, it looks like most of it will remain to our south, but still too early to give…
Our 1:30 PM temperature is 33°F, the humidity is 97%, and the pressure is 29.79 in and falling. Winds are from the North at 0-4 mph and visibility is only one mile. The dew point is 33°F. Yesterday’s high was 48°F and the overnight low was 28°F Average temps for this date are 31°F/19°F. Record temps for Dec. 30 are 61°F (1936) and -11°F (1976). Sunrise was at 8:09 AM and sunset will be at 5:12 PM. DURAND / OWOSSO…
After a day and night of constant rain, today we have the sun trying to make an appearance. Yesterday’s precip amount was 1.33 inches. It rained all day, then switched to wet snow late last night. It was covering my deck when I went to bed, and I expected to see an all white ground cover this morning. There was no snow remaining. We will start losing our warm temperatures after today, and very cold temps will be with us…
