Snow

[RobertEH]

It was pushing 50 yesterday up here too. Looking like some snow setting up to fall next Sat and Sun, but only 1.6 inches between the two days.

My driveway is almost totally clear at this point! Still have 5 or six inches elsewhere though.

11 am and already 50F. At this rate the ground will soon be completely thawed. No snow - many puddles.

72F two days ago, and snow forecast for Saturday, with a couple inches of rain beforehand. Should be interesting, as the ground is currently saturated.

The utility had an outage last night; calm, warm evening. And some wonder why we have batteries and generator backup... Perhaps they were running a test for their emergency response team? (Kidding.) Close to two thousand customers without power over an area that went more than an hours drive from here.

Fingers crossed for snow...

All the best,

Peter

It was 48 F yesterday for a high and it's supposed to hit 50 F today. Crazy winter. Snow still in shady areas but most of my lawn is bare. Walked down to get my mail yesterday and the bare parts of my driveway are soft, so frost is already coming out of the ground. We should still be in the negative numbers this time of the season. Next thing you know our trees will start budding. Just saw a headline that Alaska got 8 feet of snow. I'm sure winter is waiting for me to take the snow blower off the tractor, that'll probably do it.

We're back to our highs being in the high 60's to low 70's, just like Winter is supposed to be in East Texas. Rumor has it that it's going to get very, very cold in late February, to early March. I'm OK on firewood, but it never hurts to have extra, so I'm gonna split another chord just to be safe.

My driveway is almost clear now, time to drag the motorcycle out. That oughta put a scare in mother nature?

I had 30” on my house roof about a week to week and a half ago, its all gone. I think this is the earliest meltoff i can recall in the last 30 years ive lived here.

We had quite a bit on the ground here in West Central Illinois, maybe 15”, and it’s almost gone now.

Weather pundits forecast another storm coming our way. Looks like more rain for us. So far - this winter has been like the last four or five. A little snow - melts in a day or two - lots of rain.

Can you imagine - another week of these daytime temps - I will have to start mowing the lawns.

 

[RobertEH]

That storm will be a rain/snow mix for us up north of you. Only a couple inches though

 

[ArlyA]

We got nothing white in our forecast!

 

[oosik]

Our forecast - continued WET.

 

[oosik]

No snow since last post - Feb 2. Rains or drizzles almost every day. Lawns are getting close to mowing time. Even the totally shaded spots are almost completely thawed.

You watch - it will turn around and snow two feet - just for spite.

 

[ArlyA]

We are still skiing here but the base is minimal.

 

[oosik]

Well - it's 53F outside - right now. Brownie and I just got back in from a walk. Lo & behold - the first buttercups of spring. Out in the far lawn.

 

[RobertEH]

I am 90 min north of you near Sandpoint. Lovely weekend (wet on Sunday but warm). Showing snow in the forecast 9 out of 10 days going forward! No big accumulations though.

 

[ArlyA]

We have some in the forecast, but it just ain't much...

 

[grsthegreat]

Here near Athol, was bright blue skies outside. I was thinking about doing some work replacing some landscape lighting. Then went outside…..burr cold. And clouding up now.

 

[RobertEH]

Up in Cocolalla I was thinking the same thing yesterday! Then around noon the snow started. Nice and sunny again today, but more snow forecast for tonight and the next few days

Yesterday - 2/27 - was bright sun shine. Went outside - Brrrrr.
26F and windy. It was a quick trip.
