I woke around 3:30 AM to the sound of thunder and pouring rain. It was music to my ears This morning feels like a spring day, but I know that we’ll only have a one day reprieve from the winter weather. We could see highs nearing 50° today although there is still the chance for more rain. Most of the snow is gone except for shaded areas and just a trace in those places. Maybe I’ll get out for a…
Today is expected to be fairly decent with no precipitation in the forecast, and temperatures starting to moderate more to where they should be this time of year. We could even see a little sun this afternoon. We still have about 4.5 inches of snow cover and highs should reach the mid 30s. Hopefully it will melt the ice on my deck. Our 9:15 AM temp is 32.4°F (0°C0, the humidity is 86%, and skies are overcast. Winds are calm…
This morning looks like a typical day in January and it isn’t even officially winter yet. Hard to believe that it is still a month away. The long range forecast doesn’t look too good for us so we may as well just find some way to enjoy it. I really do like snow this time of year. With our lack of sunlight, the snow brightens it up a bit. People are starting to get their holiday lights up and that’s…
Today will really feel like winter with the high only around 30° and brisk winds. The snow that we have will most likely remain in place through this week with no warm ups expected anytime soon. We received a total of 5 inches from yesterday’s storm, and the temperatures rose high enough to clear the roads. Today should be relatively quiet with the possibilities of snow showers this afternoon. No additional accumulations are expected. Our 9 AM temp is 29.9°F…
I just listened to the latest extended forecast for the reminder of this winter season and it doesn’t sound good for winter haters. Previous forecasts of a mild winter have now been replaced with possible record low temps and snow amounts. El Nino seems to be weakening, totally changing the forecast from previously. Our winter storm has brought 3.5 inches of snow snow so far but it is expected to continue until 3 PM. They are still estimating that we…
A winter weather advisory has been issued for my area with winter storm warnings in effect for counties to our north and west. This could be our first BIG winter storm of the season and it isn’t even winter yet. Expected accumulations vary depending on the source. NOAA is saying 3-6 inches and the Weather Channel says 6-8. Those amounts are higher than what they said yesterday so apparently the storm direction will be heading more in our direction. It…
Yesterday was very pleasant with sun and temps rising above average for a change. Some places even hit 50°F, something we haven’t seen for awhile. Unfortunately, with the warmer temps came rain. It wasn’t much but just enough to make the road muddy. I’m hearing talk of a possible snow storm on Monday, which according to one of our local forecasters, could give us about 3-2 inches of new snow. I can’t ever remember getting this much snow in November. …
Today will be the coldest day that we have for awhile with highs not even reaching the freezing mark. At least we aren’t expecting any weather which will cause slippery driving conditions. The extended forecast is calling for more normal temperatures over the next week. Yesterday felt like a day in January and there won’t be much improvement today. Our 8:45 AM temperature is 20°F (-7°C), the humidity is 58% and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the east at…
Although we had a light dusting of snow on the ground this morning, the clouds have cleared away and the sun is out. It seems like we hardly see it anymore. Unfortunately, it isn’t warming it up much. Our high today will only reach the freezing mark but the sun has melted most of the new snow. We continue to have very minimal snow cover at this time. It would probably average out to half an inch. Most of it…
Our forecast is calling for some clearing later today and highs in the upper 30s. We received a few snow flurries yesterday but not enough to really matter. This should be a fairly nice day to get outdoors and do something. There is a slight chance of snow this morning but I don’t think that it’s going to happen. The radar is showing it sitting just to our south and I hope it stays there. Our 8:45 AM temperature is…
