After warm temps and rain of the past few days, most of our snow is gone.  We received just over an inch of rain since Friday, and snow flurries were in the forecast for today.  […]

I don’t remember ever having this many days in a row of dense fog.  This morning was just cloudy, then the fog appeared around 1:30 PM.  It is just as dense as it was the past two days.  Heavy rain moved in […]

We had heavy fog most of our Wednesday, and it remains this morning.  The dense fog advisory expires at 11 AM.  I haven’t seen fog like this in a long time and visibility was less than a mile much of y […]

We were lucky yesterday and didn’t get any freezing rain.   All the snow and ice on my deck has turned to slush and it shovels easily.  We still have about 2 inches of snowpack and I expect that to be gone by […]

What began as snow this morning, changed to rain for this afternoon.  I’m happy that none of it froze, at least not yet.  I’m able to remove some of the ice from my deck and I’m happy about that.  The next fe […]

We are expecting a winter mix bringing snow this afternoon.  My area seems to be right on the line between rain and snow, and I’m hoping for all snow.  We still have about an inch of ice under our existing s […]

We have a welcome warmup coming this week.  We should see temps into the 40s by next weekend, and hopefully, get rid of this ice.  We have about 3 inches of snowpack, and that’s on top of about 1 inch of i […]

Yesterday was quite nice for a day in January.  Temperatures were warmer than what they had been, and winds were quite light.  Today is a different story.  We are back to temperatures in the teens and a si […]

We have snow in our forecast once again, and what we got three days ago is still there.  At least it is much warmer today, but not enough for anything to melt.  Our area is expecting at least two inches t […]

Our forecast is calling for a little sun today, but haven’t seen any yet.  Temperatures remain much below where they should be and I’m really tired of it.  We still have about 2 to 2.5 inches of snow cover a […]

Once again, our temperatures will do well to make it into the mid teens.  Add the wind chill, and it feels below zero.  This is another day that I’m thankful that I don’t have to go anywhere.  Temperatures sh […]

It was 1 degree when I got up this morning, and it hasn’t warmed up significantly since then.  The sun is trying to peek out but a thin cloud cover remains.  At least we don’t have the strong winds today so i […]

Today is the coldest that we’ve had this year, and there is no relief coming anytime soon.  We could see temps falling below zero for the first time in two years.  Our winter weather advisory has been c […]

This winter storm has been a bit of a bust for us.  We only got a couple inches of snow compared to other areas.  There is a crust of ice on top of the snow, so it was difficult to measure this morning.  Th […]

We are under a winter weather advisory rather than a warning, so it appears that we may not be affected as badly as originally thought.  That’s fine with me.  It sounds like the biggest issue will be the s […]

We woke this morning to about 1.5″ of new snow, so now there is almost 3″ on the ground.  It was heavy and wet, so it stuck to everything.  It is just warm enough that some has melted and my boys were out c […]

Yesterday was fairly mild with drizzle, then it changed to snow later, and became a moderate snow shower by midnight.  Everything was covered with heavy, wet snow this morning, which is sticking to all the […]

Today is finally acting like January.  We seem to be right on the line between rain and snow, and snow has been gently falling all morning.  There is just a light covering on the grass and that will probably b […]

We have some possible nasty weather heading our way although there are no watches or warnings for our area at this time.  It appears that most of it will come as rain with heavy snow to our north.  R […]

Snow began falling late yesterday afternoon and continued overnight.  There is about half an inch on the ground which melted down to 0.02″ in my rain gauge.  I don’t expect it to last long since highs today s […]
