We lost our sun for a day or so, but the fog this morning treated us to some hoar frost.  We don’t see it very often, but it is very pleasant to see when it happens.  Temperatures will be a little cooler t […]

Once again, we have clear skies and warmer temperatures.  It looks like spring outdoors but the wind is a bit chilly.  The ambiance is taking on the look of spring with the sun moving higher in the sky.  I al […]

We only had two sunny days in January.  They were Jan. 2 and Jan. 15.  Oh sure, there were a few others where it peeked out for about two minutes, and that was it.  But finally, today we’ll have Mr. sun pr […]

It will be a little cooler today than yesterday, with a minor cold front moving over us.  Fortunately, it won’t last long, and warmer air will move in starting tomorrow.  In fact, we could see highs in the l […]

Although dreary weather will still be with us a few more days, next weeks sounds really good.  Temperatures are supposed to be in the 40s all week and quite a few sunny days.  Just seeing the sun again will p […]

More fog to start our day.  We lost much of the snow from yesterday and there is only about half an inch left.   The fog advisory is for this morning with the possibility of freezing rain.  Temperatures are […]

We woke to a world of white this morning.  The snow is wet and sticking to everything.  It’s very pretty to look at but I’m betting that driving this morning wasn’t very fun.  I’m glad that I don’t have to do […]

We have another dreary, cold day to deal with.  At least it’s the end of January and we can look forward to spring coming in the next few months.  This winter is passing so quickly, just like our summer d […]

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 […]
