Blustery Weather On The Way . . . .

Blustery Weather On The Way . . . .

Our morning has been quiet, but we have some stormy weather coming our way.  I’m already seeing a few flurries flying, and conditions will continue to get worse as the day rolls on.  Winter storm warnings are up for the western and northern portions of the state, and even though we aren’t included, we are still expecting up to two inches of snow.  That’s enough to make driving hazardous.   Wind will also be an issue with gusts possible over 30…

Dreary And Dry . . . .

Dreary And Dry . . . .

The weather today is nothing great but at least it isn’t raining or snowing.  Even the wind isn’t too strong, so I guess we can’t really complain.  We went out shopping and came back home with the plan to go later.  I forgot that this is Christmas season and the stores are a madhouse.  I don’t do well in crowds in my old age. That’s why I do most of my shopping on line anymore.  The next two days won’t…

A Wet But Mild Day . . . .

A Wet But Mild Day . . . .

After a very pleasant Sunday, our Monday is damp, but the temperatures are very mild.  Overnight drizzle has continued but is supposed to end early this afternoon.  We’re still waiting for that to happen.  There was 0nly 0.05″ in my rain gauge at 8:30 and light rain has continued since.  It’s a dark and dreary day so far. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 49°F, the humidity is 88%, and winds are from the SW at 5-8 mph.  The pressure is…

A Beautiful Morning . . . .

A Beautiful Morning . . . .

Temperatures were warm enough all night that we lost half of our snow.  The rest should be gone by tonight.  Highs could reach near 50F and will remain so through tomorrow.  After this past week, it feels balmy out there.  Our sky has cleared enough to let the sun shine and will make it feel even warmer.  Tomorrow is expected to be a little warmer but with that will come rain..  Then Wednesday will bring another dip in the temperatures…

Starting To Warm Up . .

Starting To Warm Up . .

After a few days of very frigid weather, we can now look forward to another brief warmup.  We could see temps near 50F on Monday, and it will be welcome.  We still have about 2 inches of snow on the ground and that should be gone by Monday night.  But then another round of cold air will follow, but there isn’t any snow expected with it.  At least not at this time. Our 11 AM temperature is 31°F, the humidity…

Two Inches of Snow Cover With Strong Wind . . . . .

Two Inches of Snow Cover With Strong Wind . . . . .

Snow showers began late yesterday and continued overnight.  We now have about two inches of new snow.  It isn’t expected to last long as temperatures rise into the 40s this weekend and early next week.  Today is blustery and very cold, so I won’t be going outdoors much.  I’m glad that I don’t have to go anywhere. Our 12 Noon temperature is 28°F, the humidity is 76%, and skies are cloudy.  Winds are from the west at 15-23 mph, giving…

Very Cold And Windy . . .

Very Cold And Windy . . .

Wind is the big issue today, and with these very cold temperatures, it feels like a day in mid January.  Thankfully, the forecast is calling for a significant warm-up next week.  Lake effect snow showers continue to plague the west and north sides of the state, but I’m sure that the ski resorts are loving it.  Most have had a hard time the past several years with snow being sparse.  My area gets very little lake effect;  just an occasional…

Most Snow Is Gone . . . .

Most Snow Is Gone . . . .

We had about half an inch of snow this morning, now most is gone.  Much of the western side of the state is buried  with up to 4 feet in some areas.  I was watching the storm chasers on YouTube yesterday, and they were out helping people get unstuck and taking food to police and emergency personnel.  It reminded me of the Weather Channel program, Highway Through Hell.  I-94 was definitely not the place to be.  We didn’t get anything…

Sunny And A Little Warmer . . . .

Sunny And A Little Warmer . . . .

Yesterday turned out to be partly sunny and not too bad of a day.  We had a few flurries in the morning but then a mix of sun and clouds later in the day.  Much of the snow melted where the sun hit, and we have maybe half an inch left.  I expect that to be gone by tonight. Our 9:15 AM temp is 28°F (-2°C), the humidity is 85%, and  winds are from the west at 4-8 mph.  The…

A Little Sun For Our Sunday . . . .

A Little Sun For Our Sunday . . . .

After two days of almost constant snow showers, we finally have a break in the clouds today and some sun.  There was 1.5 inches of snow cover, and now much of it is gone.  Although temperatures aren’t expected to rise above freezing, the sun is making up for that. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 31°F, the humidity is 76%, and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are from the W at 6-13 mph, and the pressure is 30.05 in and steady. …
