We have freezing rain at the present time, and it is supposed to change to all rain as the day goes on. Ice is building up rapidly on my trees and I hope that it warms up soon and stops freezing. Highs today are supposed to reach the mid 30s by this afternoon. We still have about 1-2 inches of ice on the ground from the last storm. Hey Mother Nature! Send us a few 50 degree days. Our 2:15…
Our temperatures made it into the low 40s and it feels a bit balmy today. We haven’t had any clouds and winds have been light. For a day in late February, it’s been very nice. Our ground is still white, but it isn’t snow . . . . . it’s ice, and not melting very fast. I estimate that it measures about 1-2 inches but am unable to get a accurate measurement. I’ll be glad when it warms up enough…
Our ground cover is about 2 inches of frozen whatever, and very little of it is snow. We did have a slight snow shower early this morning which left an additional half inch to the mix. It has now stopped and our forecast is calling for clearing later on. Our skies cleared late yesterday afternoon and we saw quite a bit of sun. It helped clear some of the ice on our deck, but it didn’t get warm enough to…
There are many who are still without power, and reinforcements are coming in from neighboring states to help with repairs . Local power companies estimate that most power should be restored by Sunday night. Our ground cover is white, but not with snow. It is all ice, mainly sleet, two inches of it. There won’t be any melting today since temps aren’t expected to rise above freezing. Right now, the sun is surprising us with a visit, but I don’t…
Looking at the power outage maps this morning, I feel very fortunate. My picture is from my son who lives near Detroit. So many without power this morning, but we aren’t one of them. Our lights blinked off for about 10 seconds, but then came back on. I feel blessed. Yes, we have two generators but they only power half the house and that’s better than nothing. Our ground is covered with 1.5″ of frozen slush. We had mostly sleet…
So far, we only have a light covering of snow, and there is nothing happening at this time. My area is right on the line between snow and ice, so we aren’t certain yet what to expect. Our generators are ready to go just in case, and the latest forecast doesn’t sound good. Regardless, we aren’t planning to go anywhere today as the local weather gurus are warning that travel late today will be impossible. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look now…
Currently, we are under a winter storm watch with some discrepancies as to what we can expect. My YouTube weather guy, Ryan Hall, is warning that we could get a major ice storm with up to 0.5″ of ice. NOAA is saying only 0.1 to 0.2″ of ice, with 1-2 inches of snow. Weather Underground is saying that it will be mostly snow for us with 5-8 inches possible. It’s going to be interesting to see who is right. I’m…
We lost the rest of the snow and ice from last week’s storm, but now we have another expected to arrive on Wednesday. It sound pretty much like the last one. It’s supposed to start with snow, then change to sleet and freezing rain after that. I’m glad that I don’t have to go anywhere on Thursday, because I don’t imagine that the roads will be very good. Today shouldn’t be too bad although I think our sun is done…
The highs yesterday made it into the mid 40s and we lost a lot of snow and ice. This morning began with sun but now it has become mostly cloudy. We could see a high near 50°F this afternoon. Our snow cover has dwindled to about 30% and I expect that to be gone by tonight. Unfortunately, we have another ice/snow/sleet storm coming our way for Wednesday. This, so far, sounds like it will be more ice than snow, so…
It has warmed up significantly since this morning, and most of the ice and snow has melted on the blacktop roads. Temps were in the teens this morning, and now have reached the upper 30s. With the sun, it is much warmer. Unfortunately, it is quite windy, making it feel a lot cooler. But we’re getting rid of the ice and that’s a good thing. Our 12:45 PM temp is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is 61%, and skies are mostly…
