Lotsa Sun, Mild Temps . . . .

Lotsa Sun, Mild Temps . . . .

Our sky is perfectly clear right now.  It’s been a while since we’ve seen that.  Our temperature is even above freezing, and it’s still early.  Maybe we’ll see the high rise more than what was predicted.  We have about 3.5″ of snow cover.  It’s very pleasant to look out the window for a change.  Yesterday wasn’t too bad.  We did have a few flurries in the morning, and then the sky partially cleared, but temperatures were still very chilly.  Today…

A Little Warmer With A Little Sun . . . . .

A Little Warmer With A Little Sun . . . . .

Our weather has improved from what has been, and temperatures will continue to rise over the next week.  I’m not sure how soon we’ll see any thawing, but at least I think we’re done with the single digit highs for a while.  We started the day with cloudy skies and snow flurries.  Now there is quite a bit of blue sky and sun.  That will raise our spirits is nothing else. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 20°F, the humidity is…

Never Ending Snow . . . .

Never Ending Snow . . . .

I think we’ve had snow everyday for the past 2 weeks.  It’s never very much, just enough where I have to go out and shovel.  We have three inches on the ground at this time and there is snow falling right now.  At least our deep freeze seems to have come to an end, and hopefully won’t return.  I’m ready for spring. Our 10:15 AM temp is a balmy 21°F (-6°C), the humidity is 91%, and skies are cloudy with…

We Think We Have It Bad . . . .

We Think We Have It Bad . . . .

We complain about how cold it is, but northern Florida has 7 inches of snow.  They literally don’t know how to act.  The roads are a glare of ice and the freeways are shut down.  Their temps are below freezing so not much is melting so far.  They don’t have road salt and very few snow plows.  I’m hearing that Indiana is sending some plows down there.  As for us, last night was one of the coldest that we’ve had…

Look What’s Happening In The Deep South?

Look What’s Happening In The Deep South?

I’m sure all the snowbirds are in shock this morning.  Northern Florida is seeing temps near freezing and the possibility of a few inches of snow.  Same with the other southern states.  As for us, we’re still in the deep freeze but this should be our coldest day.  Then it starts getting better tomorrow.  I’m still not seeing any highs above freezing coming anytime soon, however.  But it is January after all.  I’ll leave it at that. Our 10:15 AM…

Very Cold, Light Lake Effect Snow . . . .

Very Cold, Light Lake Effect Snow . . . .

We have very frigid temps today with highs only expected to remain in the single digits.  Besides that, we have light lake effect snow showers.  So it feels like a very January day.  On this inauguration day, Washington DC is also very cold and I hope that all attending the festivities are dressed warm.  I’m happy that I’m watching it on my TV in a warm room. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 10°F (-12°C), the humidity is 81%, and winds…

Polar Bear Weather . . . .

Polar Bear Weather . . . .

I think polar bears would love our weather but not us so much.  It is extremely cold and I’m glad I don’t have to go out in it.  The sun is peeking through a little and we have had a few snow showers earlier today.  The wind is making it unbearable to be out for more than a few minutes.  I’m just happy that it will be warming up about Thursday. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 16°F (-9°C), the humidity…

No More Mild Weather For A While . . . .

No More Mild Weather For A While . . . .

The next several days will be very frigid with highs only in the single digits and lows below zero.  Fortunately, it won’t last but just a couple of days.  There is no snow in our forecast anytime soon either so my deck should stay clear for a while. Our 2:15 PM temperature is 28°F (-2C), the humidity is 66%, and winds are from the NW at 6-15 mph.  Skies are cloudy and we received just a trace of rain over…

A Little Sun Before the Misery . . . .

A Little Sun Before the Misery . . . .

Today looks to be one of our more pleasant days before the deep freeze.  Highs should reach above freezing and we could see quite of bit of sunlight.  Right now, we have a thin cloud cover and filtered sun.  Winds aren’t too strong yet but are expected to pick up through the afternoon.  I’m hoping that at least all the snow will melt where we shoved on the deck before more snow arrives tonight. Our 10:45 temp is 32°F, the…

Just More Of The Same . . . .

Just More Of The Same . . . .

There is no change in our weather from the past several days.  Mornings begin with cloudy skies, then some clearing and a little sun in the afternoon.  I’m not sure if we’ll see any sun today, but regardless, it won’t do much to warm it up if we do.  So for now, we’re stuck with typical January weather.  The next two days should make it above freezing anyway.  Then next week . . . .. . . UGH!  Need I…
