Title: How's your weather #8
Post by: Jim on Dec 05, 2009, 12:26:58 PM
Looks like we filled that last one up.

We got some rain last night.  Looks like about .28.  At least it wasn't snow.  Talked to Dad and Mom in Tennessee and they were expecting snow this morning.  The temp was 38° when we were talking last night.

It's about 50° today and that's about as high as it is supposed to get with cloudy skies.

Sunny and 31°F, no wind, yet. We did have some light rain then sleet and snow yesterday, enough to make it somewhat white.

It's supposed to get down to 32° tonight all the way to the coast. VERY unusual for for this time of year. We don't normally get these kind of temps until January or February. Who knows, maybe this will be the year we get some snow down here. We are overdue. History dictates approx. every 10 years we get some snow. It's been well over that.

Woke to about 40* and it looks like it won't do a lot better today. It is damp out and rain is on it's way.

We got down to 30° last night.  At about 1:00AM it was 34° so I went out and plugged in the pool pump so it wouldn't freeze.  It's partly cloudy today with a slight breeze.  Was 45° last time I checked.

23°F, temp wise not bad, but the wind is even more brutal now, wind chill could go down to -10°F overnight, nothing compared what it could do around here, recorded a -45°F wind chill years and years ago, long before they changed the wind chill formula.

Didn't get quite as cold last night.  The low was 37° and it's 47° now.  We are supposed to worm up a bit till midweek so I guess I can unplug the pool pump for a few days.

It is actually getting pretty bad right now.  Think I will head out soon.  We have 2 offices and I split my time between them. Today I am at the one that is quite a bit further away from my house.  Figures.  This one is 40 miles from my house and the other is only 5 miles.

This is unreal. It is 72° this morning. High to be mid to upper 70s. Then tonight's low is supposed to be around 50 with tomorrow's high mid to high 50s. Oh so many people are going to be sick.
Title: Re: How's your weather #8
Post by: Jim on Dec 09, 2009, 08:17:12 AM
We had .36 inch of rain yesterday and the temp today is about 67°.  My weather radio just went off with a severe thunderstorm warning for one of the neighboring counties.  We are also under a tornado warning till 10AM.  It looks like we are going to have some nasty weather the first part of the day then clear out later on.

I think our weather is supposed to be the same as yours Barb.  70°s today and then 30°s on Saturday morning.
Title: Re: How's your weather #8

No complaints here. Tonight is a little warmer than last night. So when I go out to my van in the morning jockeying hands full of things around so I can get my key in the door and I set my coffee on the roof it won't slide off again.

Light freezing rain this morning, still in the upper 20's now with a mix of clearing and clouds, slicker than anything out there, highs warming to the lower 50's later this week, gonna feel sorta like summer if it does.
Title: Re: How's your weather #8
Post by: wimc on Dec 14, 2009, 08:56:27 AM
34°F, about an inch of snow, becoming slush. Just glad were finally getting above freezing, today should be last day of anything frozen.
Title: Re: How's your weather #8
Post by: Jim on Dec 14, 2009, 12:07:33 PM
It's warmed back up here a bit.  The low yesterday was 39°.  We are supposed to have a few more warm days and then back to the lows in the 20s.  We definitely don't need any more rain.  We've got about 2.83 inches this month and that is more than enough to have water standing in all the low spots.  Supposed to get more rain tonight and then start clearing tomorrow.
Title: Re: How's your weather #8

My newspaper  breaks the rainfall down even closer to areas. Sometimes I can get twice as much rain on my side of the canyon than they got on the other side, 2 miles away. Or the other way around.
Our weather season begins July 1st and ends end of June. The lowest rainfall year ever recorded was a touch over 4 inches for the whole year. And that was only a few years ago. Last week alone we got over 5 inches. That is the beginning of a very good year.

Definitely cool here this morning.  27° was our low and that's what I woke to.  We are supposed to reach 50° today though.  I guess winter is here because they are predicting snow in the north western portion of South Carolina for tonight and tomorrow.

Tonight: Cloudy with a drenching rain ending overnight. Low 37F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall may reach one inch.

My sister's weather:

Today: A few showers early becoming a steady rain for the afternoon. Some sleet may mix in. Temps nearly steady in the mid 30s. Winds NE at 10 to 20 mph. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch.
Tonight: Windy with periods of rain and snow. Some sleet may mix in. Low 33F. Winds NNE at 15 to 25 mph.

Post by: Jessica on Dec 23, 2009, 12:30:59 PM
Here is what we are in for....

.. Winter Storm Warning now in effect from 9 PM this evening to
6 am CST Saturday...

The Winter Storm Warning is now in effect from 9 PM this evening
to 6 am CST Saturday.

* Timing... snow will begin late this afternoon into early this
evening... with accumulating snow most likely after 9 PM tonight.
The snow will continue through Friday night. Some sleet is also
possible from late Wednesday night into Thursday
afternoon... mainly in east central Minnesota and western
Wisconsin.

* Accumulations... significant amounts of snow will occur with
periods of heavy snow likely as the storm intensifies Thursday
afternoon into Friday. Snow amounts by Thursday morning of two
to five inches are expected. Total snowfall accumulations by
Saturday morning will likely exceed one foot in many
areas... with scattered totals in excess of 20 inches probable.
This event may become comparable to the Halloween snow storm of
1991.

* Surface visibility will be reduced as the event continues due to
increasing wind speeds and blowing snow... mainly in open rural
areas.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather
conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of
snow are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in
an emergency. If you must travel... keep an extra flashlight...
food... and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.

We are waiting to see what happens.  We would like to go to my parent's tomorrow (we always go there Christmas Eve) but they live 20 miles away so we will have to see.  If we go, we will go earlier in the day than normal before it gets too bad and definitely be home before dark.  Then on Christmas afternoon, we typically head to James' parent's which is 15 miles away.  We are not sure if we will make it to anything.  It is just a waiting game at this point.  We always keep warm clothes in the car.  Kitty litter is a good idea though.  We do have 4WD  but that doesn't always get you out of a ditch.

All of you be safe!. We are sitting at 62 right now. Got up to 68 today. Got rain and wind coming in tomorrow and up to 68 predicted. Rain should be out before dawn on Christmas day, then it's supposed to be cold again.

That's about the same forecast that they are saying for us.  I think the temps are a bit lower though.  Maybe the mid 50s and then back down below freezing on Sunday morning.  I have had the pool pump on the timer for the last week.  Looks like I can give it a rest after tonight.
