My weather station showed -1F this morning at 8:30.  All other nearby weather stations showed temps in the teens.  Why was it so much colder at my house?  Did we have clear skies and everyone else had cl […]

There is really nothing new to report.  My blogs have been pretty redundant lately, but what can I say?  Each day is just like the last.  We still see no end to these below freezing temperatures, so the li […]

Looking at the national weather map, today is much more quiet than the past two, with the snow storm and severe weather having moved off to the east.  High pressure is now dominating most of the country and […]

We sure can’t complain seeing what’s happening in Kansas and Missouri.  My brother lives in DC and they’re expecting as much as a foot of snow.  But the areas with the ice are hurting.  Lots of power ou […]

Our day began with clear skies and sun.  Now we have overcast skies and snow flurries.  The central portions of the country are being buried under snow and ice.  Originally, we thought that some of that wo […]

Today will be cold and no relief is sight.  We have about 1.5″ of snow cover at this time. The winter storm expected early next week will remain well to our south, so no problems for us expected from that […]

The deep freeze is upon us.  Yesterday saw no thawing and we won’t see it today either.  In fact, I don’t expect any melting for at least a few weeks.  The big snow storm is still coming but will remain we […]

We had a few snow showers yesterday, but not enough to really add to the ground cover.  I guess I’d call it a trace of snow.  We had a little melting, but that’s not going to happen today.  We can still ex […]

We woke to a white world this morning.  We had a mix of snow and rain most of yesterday which left us with 2 inches of slush or an icy mix of snow and ice, which ever you prefer.  We have snow flurries once a […]

Our 1:30 PM temperature is 33°F, the humidity is 97%, and the pressure is 29.79 in and falling.  Winds are from the North at 0-4 mph and visibility is only one mile.  The dew point is 33°F.  Yesterday’s high […]

After a day and night of constant rain, today we have the sun trying to make an appearance.  Yesterday’s precip amount was 1.33 inches.  It rained all day, then switched to wet snow late last night.  It was co […]

After yesterday’s spring-like weather, today ushers in more winter for us.  It will take a few days to feel the brunt of it, but we know it’s coming.  I’m hearing that we should be prepared for a snowy J […]

Although our temperatures are very warm for this date, the day is gloomy and quite windy.  It feels like a day in March instead of December.  But it won’t last long as another round of frigid weather will be u […]

It is very mild today and quite pleasant to be outdoors.  We do have a chance for rain later, but no precip at this time.  There was a bit of drizzle yesterday which left  0.02″ in my gauge, and tomorrow co […]

We haven’t had any precip but the warm temps are quickly melting what snow we have left.  The upcoming week is expected to be mild, before the next blast of frigid air moves over us.  There is a chance of r […]

I guess we could say that we have a white Christmas.  We have no fresh snow but none of our existing snow has melted, so we continue to have about an inch of snow cover left.  The past two days never go […]

Yesterday was messy, with rain, then freezing rain, and finally snow late.  Roads were slippery in spots but weren’t too bad after salting.  Today hasn’t brought any precipitation and temperatures are h […]

Today starts our week of much warmer weather.  We should lose a lot of snow today although we only have about an inch on the ground.  We could see a messy weather pattern today with mixed precip for our a […]

The first day of winter certainly came in with a dramatic blast of cold air.  My weather station showed an overnight low below zero.  Yesterday was frigid but we should start seeing a warm-up tomorrow.  We wi […]
