    Another week gone by and  so far it been an  warm New year  with temps only dropping  into single digits minus’s.  Tuesday was our warmest  hit  the high of 37 deg. F.  At  0800  that morning we were at 31 and  t […]

    • Thanks for another great report John. Definitely you have been milder up there at times this week than I have been down here in central Maryland. Currently +8 with a DP of -5 at 0645 EST Sat 1/6. Rivers down here may be more frozen than your Tanana and Salcha Rivers are..Saw kids playing hockey on Friday out on the C and O Canal near the Potomac River. Very shallow, so it is probably frozen all the way through – very little current in the canal. Take care, stay warm – keep that log burning on your fire. Beautiful picture of your home! Later, Kevin

  • Thursday started out cold and dry for the first few hours then light snow (estimated at 0.5″, water equivalent of .03″) started and fell for a few hours, as the temperature fell through most of the 20s and with […]

  • We had snow showers most of our Wednesday giving us another half inch of the white stuff.  We have about 4 inches of ground cover at this time and it won’t be melting anytime soon.  I really don’t mind the s […]

    • Your winter temps are just an normal winter day here. I bet if you dig back into the 1800 you would find not that much has change from what you are getting now.

  • This week the East Coast is experiencing a “bomb cyclone”. This bombogenesis process is fascinating and the term is thrown out to the public and not explained well enough for the general masses to understand it. […]

    • Kevin we have several of these so called bomb every winter. Lower 48 don’t hear about them cause they are of no important tearing up an Native village or taking out there power grid due to salt spray like one did couple winter back to Savooga out on St Lawerence Island. The news media is very bias on their reporting as I am sure you have found out with your relationship with Rick.

    • Hi John! Thanks for your comment. The bottom line is population. This east coast “bomb” doesn’t happen as often but when it does, it affects several million people, many more than are in Alaska. Alaskans just have to speak up and make their case known as best they can. Those really “into” the weather know all about the power and the incredible damage those Aleutian and Bering Sea LOWS can do. Just make your case be heard and you will get assistance when you all need it up there in the beautiful 49th state. Take care, and keep putting that log on the fire! Kevin

  • Wednesday was another cold one in the early AM but began to moderate in the afternoon and evening. Sunny skies gave way to increasing clouds in the afternoon and evening, as a big coastal storm headed […]

    • Greeat report Jeff as usual. Getting a little bit of snow here this Thursday morning. I noticed a slight error in your report on the second line “Jan 1st-15th should say Dec 1st-15th” …Maximum and Minimum of only 8.2°. The Average Max/Min/Mean Temperatures Jan 1st-15th
      I haven’t even started my December report. I just do too much and am not as well organized as you and others are.
      Happy New Year!
      Kevin

      • Thanks for the revision – good catch! I wish I had more time to devote to the blog than I do now. I look forward to seeing your Dec. data when it’s completed.

  • The fifth named storm of the winter 2017 – 2018 season was, in part, formed by the arctic blast that has been hitting America of late (and today produced snow in Florida). With a temperature range of almost […]

    • Wow, that’s an extremely impressive storm! How often do you get sea foam like that?

      • Sea Foam is, as you state, moderately rare in the UK, but if the wind blowing is in the same relative direction as the sea (from the west on the west coast and from the east on the east coast) then yes, you can get it.

  • The second day of the new year was another cold one to give 2018 quite a start. Sunny, really brisk temps continued as temps just reached the low 20s for high temperatures. Despite the well below freezing temps […]
