The sky has cleared quite nicely this morning leaving us with more than welcome sunshine. Feels warmer than it is and that’s okay. Merely brightening our day is enough-athough a temperature getting up to 30 isn’t all bad either. Look for more days with the chance of some snow but for the most part fairly comfortable temperatures. Watch out for days, like perhaps next Tuesday, that might not even manage to get up into the 20s, but as a steady temperature, this will not be our norm. We seem to have come up out of the bitter cold storage we seemed to have been stuck in for awhile. We don’t really mind so much when a day or two crops up like that, but day after day isn’t a delight as we discovered. In the meantime, enjoy this morning – it’s a spirit lifter for sure.

Currently 21 with an average wind from the SE of 3 mph. Feels like 16 degrees. Dew Point 20, Humidity 95%, Barometer 29.93, Visibility 1.1 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:27 pm.

80% chance of overnight snow. 1″ or less expected. Low in the lower 20s. SW winds around 10 mph becoming W overnight.

Gloomy enough to be looking like snow’s on the way out there this morning. Our cold temperatures aren’t going anywhere soon. Look for perhaps some snow with a mix of freezing rain on Sunday. Let’s hope that part isn’t going to show up. But do look for some snow days to put in an appearance. As of right now, nothing drastic, but you do know how quickly something like that can change in our area. Just keep alert, stay warm, hope for spring.

Currently 14 with a 3 mph wind from the ENE. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 11, Humidity 78%, Barometer 30.25, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:26 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight snow showers. Low 15-20 with S winds 5-10 mph.

Might see a bit of sun today but not tomorrow. Look for the chance of some snow falling tonight and definitely tomorrow. Appears to be a little snow again on Sunday and Monday. Alas…adding snow to the cold seems a bit too wintry but that’s our picture shaping up. Could be worse. Could be in the grip of Winter Storm Cora  – thank goodness that was one more winter storm that slid to the south of us, leaving us without the woes it’s creating. A couple inches of snow coming pales in comparison to what’s going on in other parts of the nation. We can cope with this.

Currently 21 with an average wind of 7 mph from the NW. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 16, Humidity 79%, Barometer 30.23, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:25 pm.

60% chance of snow showers. 1″ or less expected. High in the mid 20s. Light winds becoming NW 5-10 mph in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. Low near 15. Light winds.

Off and on light snow showers. An inch at a time different days for us is what we’re looking at. Also looking at a tiny bit of a warm up over the weekend. Maybe as high as 30 degrees. Not to worry. It won’t hang around if it happens. By Tuesday it seems we’ll be back in the teens. Alas…Our January this year is definitely a wintry one. Gratefully we have escaped the last two winter storms that have laid states other than us low and captive to wicked weather – and no Santa Ana winds whipping up crazy wildfires like California is experiencing. Just cold for us. We can handle that. Bundle up and be grateful you are able to do that. Some out in this miserable cold are not so fortunate. This is dangerous weather for the homeless, for those with heating problems, for those unable to handle every day life when it gets difficult. We need to look out for those people. Help when you can. Be a human helping another human. That’s what makes us supposedly the higher intelligence on this planet. Right?

Currently 27 with an average wind from the WNW of 5 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 19, Humidity 75%, Barometer 30.33, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 8;13 am, Sunset 5:24 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a high around 30. NW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20.

Cloudy with a 20% chance of snow showers. Low 15-20.NW winds 5-10 becoming light.

Winter Storm Blair is still an issue and along comes Winter Storm Cora. This one, too will be south of us – even more south than Blair. So far our area has lucked out. No way of telling how long that luck will hold out, but grateful for so far. Looks like perhaps some snow about every other day for us – or not. Depends on which weather station you connect with. None of it shows significant, which is a good thing. One thing for certain is the cold temperature numbers will remain – probably right on through January.

Currently 19 with an average wind from the SE of 8 mph. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 12, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 97%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 5:23 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the mid 20s. N winds 10-15 mph.

Party cloudy with a high 15-20. NW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Our cold temperatures are going to be with us very likely through the month of January. Going to feel like winter for sure. Not much showing up in the forecast for snowfall for us. Maybe some on Wednesday, some the end of the week – but so far nothing significant. I reckon we can handle that – especially while watching the mess Winter Storm Blair is dropping on states to the south of us. Now that is significant. Most worrisome is where the ice has taken down tree branches and electric power. The cold we’re experiencing has moved in on those states too. No power with those frigid temperatures? That is plain dangerous. Prayers for all concerned to be able to survive.

Currently 18 with an average wind from the W of 3 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 18, Barometer 30.19, Humidity 91%, Visibility 3 mi., Sunrise 8:14, Sunset 5:21.

Mostly cloudy with scattered snow showers until about midday. High in the mid 20s. NW winds 10 mph.

Mostly cloudy with an overnight low 15-20. NE winds 10 mph with gusts to 20.

Unfortunately, this cold is going to hang around for some time. Looking ahead, this appears to be simply a might chilly month of January for us. No snow to speak of, as of right now, in the near future that looks significant, but the frigid temperatures will be noticeable. Matter of fact, this bitter cold is spilling down through most of the nation. Guess we should just be grateful not to be in the path of Winter Storm Blair  snowfall that’s taken hold of states to the south of us. Happy about that, but not about this brutal cold.

Currently 21 with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 9, Barometer 30.2, Humidity 86%, Visibility 2.8, Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:21 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. High in the lower 20s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy with a low 15-20 with W winds 10-15 with gusts to 25.

Look for a good chance of some snow today, but other than that, what we’re facing is mostly the frigid temperatures. Going to stay downright cold through this week. Perhaps a bit more snow around Wednesday but as of now not looking like much. Cold and wind is what we need to gear up for – quite unlike the states to the south of us facing Winter Storm Blair.

Currently 21 with an average wind from the WSW of 7 mph. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 21, Barometer 30.07, Humidity 96%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:20 pm.

70% chance of snow showers. 1″ or less expected. High in the mid 20s. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

40% chance of snow showers. Low 15-20 degrees. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until Saturday 1:00 am. Total snowfall up to 4″ expected.

We may be missing the blunt of Winter Storm Blair here and that isn’t making anyone unhappy that I’m aware of. We are stuck with the bitter cold though, no way out of that. And we are getting some lake effect snow but that isn’t going to even come close to holding a candle to Blair. That storm is looking powerful with a variety of heavy snow right on to freezing rain and sleet. Thoughts of safety to those to the south of our state but at the same time grateful for it sliding past us.

Currently 25 with an average wind from the WSW of 3 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 21, Barometer 30.17, Humidity 90%, Visibility 3 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:19 pm.

Cloudy with scattered snow showers. High in the upper 20s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of snow showers. Low in the lower20s. W winds 10 mph with gusts to 20.

Could get a bit more snow today, tonight, perhaps tomorrow. After that, as of right now, it looks like clouds and bitter cold temperatures for us for the next week. Looks very much like the big snowstorm is going to be sliding past to the south of us. Fingers crossed that this will hold up. No way to miss the frigid temperatures though. That much we’ll be in for.
