Yesterday was gorgeous for a February day.  Record highs were the norm with some reaching 60°F.  But now we must pay.  There are no watches or warnings yet but I’m afraid that they are coming.  We made a one […]

Yesterday really felt like spring in spite of the strong winds.  We were under a wind advisory until 2 PM, and even after that winds continued to be uncomfortably strong.  Wind gusts were as high as 50 mph i […]

We received 0.02 inches of rain overnight and it looks like today won’t be very pleasant being out and about.  Although temperatures will be mild, wind chills will make it seem much colder.  Our highs c […]

Now that the rain has ceased, we are dealing with much cooler temperatures but they are still  about 10° higher than average for this date.  Unfortunately, there is more rain ahead.  A flood warning is sti […]

To say that we are sick of rain is an understatement.  We barely got a break from it yesterday except for a few 5 minute periods here and there.  Our total since Monday night is 2.96 inches, 1.76 of that was y […]

Once again, we received much more precip than what was predicted.  There was 1.20 inches in my gauge as of 8 AM this morning and moderate rain continues at this time.  The rain began around 1:30 PM yesterday a […]

Temperatures as high as the 60s are in our forecast for this upcoming week, but with it comes heavy rain which has already produced flood watches in many areas.  We still have about 3.8 inches of snow cover […]

We rose this morning to a world of white but it didn’t last long.  There was half an inch of new snow on the deck, but by the time we returned home from church, it was gone.  Can’t say that I’m d […]

We have about 4.5 inches of snow cover as of this morning.  Where we cleared the snow, it is down to bare ground.  We have very warm temperatures in the forecast for mid week and that should rid us of the r […]

We lost a lot of snow with the warm temperatures that we have had the past two days.  There is still about 5.5 inches of snow cover but it is continuing to melt with temps remaining above freezing.  The next f […]

It is looking like a beautiful morning  with temperatures that almost feel balmy.  We still have about 10 inches of snow cover but that should diminish over the next few days.  We did lose a little ye […]

We now have about 14 inches of snow cover with the additional 4 inches that we received overnight . . . . and it’s still coming down.  It seems like it will never end.  The plow came down our road late y […]

Although the big snow is over, we will continue to see a little more accumulations through tomorrow.  It stopped snowing about 4 PM yesterday afternoon but we are having light flurries right now.  At least w […]

We have about 2 inches of new snow so far and still coming down. Latest forecasts are still calling for another 3-5 inches for us. As of 8 AM this morning, we have 8 inches of snow cover so far. Driving […]

Winter storm watches and warnings are already in effect for southern portions of the state.  Computer models seem to disagree as to how much we will actually get.  It ranges anywhere from 3  to 10 in […]

Our Tuesday morning is starting out with plenty of sun but frigid temperatures.  We have snow in our forecast every day this week, and there seems to be no sure opinion of how much we will get.  They were p […]

We had intermittent snow showers all day Sunday creating almost whiteout conditions at times.  What’s worse is that we have several more systems coming later this week.  We just can’t seem to keep the roads c […]

Snow began in the early morning hours and is continuing to fall at this time.  We are under a winter weather advisory until 3 PM today.  I measured about 2.5 inches of new snow so far and our landscape is a […]

With our present snow cover down to about 50%, that will change by tomorrow.  There is another snow system that will bring 3-6 inches to our area.  This seems to be a pattern that we have been stuck in l […]

It’s no surprise that the groundhog saw his shadow today, but regardless, it’s a beautiful morning. I just wish it was warmer.  We are under the influence of another Polar Vortex and they are getting tiresome […]
