Murphy's Weather

Currently 29 with a W wind of 15 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 25, Humidity 85%, Barometer 30.16 & rising, Visibility 0.5 mi., Sunrise 7:28 am, Sunset 5:22 pm. Cloudy today with a 90% chance of snow showers. High 33. WNW winds 10 -20 mph.

Cloudy. Low 26. SSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Not at all like mid November with the blast of Arctic air sweeping down through the nation. Plenty of places with a hard freeze warning now. I had to finally plug in the heated ground bird bath. I reckon it will be plugged in and warm now until Spring.

Watching scenes of the wildfires in California. Looks like a version of what Hell must look like. I am heartbroken for the people – and the animals – trapped in that tinder dry location. I can’t, not for the life of me, imagine people not gathering up what’s important and leaving – LONG before being told to go. If there’s fire anywhere around, and I do mean anywhere around, I would think the logical and safe thing to do would be to simple get out of there. It’s not worth a single life to hang around and wait to see if the fire reaches you or not, or if you are given orders to leave…just get out. If there’s something there to come back to when it’s all over, good. If not, then it’s only stuff. As someone whose family did, indeed, lose everything in a fire once upon a time, I know it’s heartbreaking, but the fact that nobody dies is what’s important.

Currently 33 with a SE wind of 3 mph. Feels like 33 degrees. Dew Point 32, Humidity 36%, Barometer 30.04 & falling, Visibility 0.5 mi., Sunrise 7:26 am, Sunset 5:23 pm. 80% chance of snow showers today. High 36. SE wind 5 mph increasing to 10-20 mph.

60% chance of overnight snow showers. Low 24. W winds 15 – 25 mph.

Well, it’s here. The first almost inch of snow for the season. Seems awfully early, but such is life. Personally, I’ve got everything on the ready, even the yard stick I use out in the back to measure snow. Nothing more I can do now but hang in here and wait for Spring. It’s my favorite winter activity – waiting for spring.

Currently 37 with an average wind from the WNW of 6 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 26, Humidity 64%, Barometer 30.37 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:25 am, Sunset 5:25 pm. Cloudy with a few peeks at the sun later in the day. High in the upper30s. Light and variable winds.

Partly cloudy becoming cloudy with a 50% chance of snow. Low 30. Light and variable winds.

Well, I don’t see this on Weather Bug, but the Weather Channel has us down for a possible 3 – 5″ of snow tomorrow. I reckon the trick is to be prepared for which ever scenario comes about. I much prefer the one without the Winter Weather Advisory, but since I don’t have a say so in the whole thing, we’ll get what we get. At any rate, I’ll be parking my car in my minuscule garage tonight, just in case.

Currently 35 with a W  wind of 16 mph. Feels like 25. Dew Point 29, Humidity 78%, Barometer 29.97 & rising, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:24 am, Sunset 5:26 pm. Cloudy today with gust winds. W 20 – 30 mph with higher gusts up to 40. High of 39 degrees.

Cloudy to partly cloudy tonight with possible rain showers. Low 31. W winds 10 – 15 mph.

Well, it seems that by Thursday night/Friday morning we could end up with our first couple of inches of snow. Yikes! SO not happy about that. Alas…at least it waited until November to bring in the ugly stuff. Guess I can be grateful for that. And just think…only 5 months to March and MARCH COULD BE NICE.

Currently 47 with an average wind from the SW of 20 mph. Feels like 40 degrees. Dew Point 45, Humidity 94%, Barometer 29.45 & rising, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:23 am, Sunset 5:27 pm. 60% chance of rain showers with windy conditions. High 49. WSW winds 20 – 30 mph with higher gusts possible.

50% chance of rain showers early, then cloudy. Windy conditions all night. Low 36. WSW winds 15 – 25 mph with higher gusts possible.

Measured .73″ of rain in the gauge this morning and it’s a misty damp day going so far. Quite windy and bound to become even more so, it would seem. Should finish blowing off a lot more leaves by the time it’s finished. And I’m hearing that horrid S word start to crop up already. Might see some by the end of the week as that cold Canadian front comes swooping down where it doesn’t belong. And then by around next Tuesday, the worst stuff is started to be mentioned…that dread, dangerous frozen mix. So far it’s only a small percentage of that happening, but by then? Who knows? That’s the worst part of our winters, that ice mix stuff. Well, it’s the season, but I sure do wish it wasn’t.

Currently 45 with an average wind from the SW of 12 mph. Feels like 40 degrees. Dew Point 40, Humidity 83%, Barometer 29.95 & rising, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:21 am, Sunset 5:28 pm.  Cloudy today with a slight chance of rain showers. High 48. SSW winds 10 – 15 mph.

100% chance of overnight rain. Low 42. E winds 10 – 15 mph.

I understand a strong cold front is poised to drop down on us by the end of the week – possibly bringing snow showers. Ugh! I did haul out the heated bird bath this morning. It isn’t plugged in yet, but it’s filled and ready to be warm rather than frozen, which seems set on happening very soon. Seems like I just packed that away and brought out the ceramic bird bath. Where did the warm seasons go?

Currently 38 with an E wind of 12 mph. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 32, Humidity 80%, Barometer 30.30 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:20 am, Sunset 5:29 pm. 80% chance of rain today. High near 50. ESE winds 15 – 25 mph with higher gusts possible.

90% chance of overnight rain. Low 45. SSE winds 10 – 20 mph.

Going to be a rather ugly day, I’m afraid. Rain, wind…nothing pleasant to be out and about in. I guess we can be grateful we’re not looking at anything drastic. So many other places in the nation are. No tornadoes, no floods. No wildfires.

Once again we’ve messed around with the time, changed the clocks, watches…a ridiculous thing to do twice a year. If only there was someone in government smart enough to finally stand up and say enough. Daylight savings time serves no purpose, it’s disruptive and unnecessary. For goodness sake, pick one and stick with it. This is silly beyond believe that we’re continuing with this time change and pretending it needed or wanted.

Currently 39 with a NW wind of 7 mph. Feels like 33. Dew Point 31, Humidity 73%, Barometer 30.09 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:19 am, Sunset 6:31 pm. Partly to mostly cloudy today, high 47. WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight with a 50% chance of rain showers. Low 34. E winds 5 – 10 mph.

No sun showing right now, but there are some areas of clouds that appear to be on the thin side, so there is some hope. Temperatures are staying on the mild side for us for the time being. Much appreciated, too. All too soon, the numbers will be falling into unfavorable area.

Currently 36 with an average wind from the N of 7 mph. Feels like 30. Dew Point 31. Humidity 83%, Barometer 29.84 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:17 am, Sunset 6:32 pm. Partly cloudy to cloudy today, high 49. N winds 5 -10 mph.

Cloudy to partly cloudy overnight, low 31. Light and variable winds.

Wow – watching video of the snow storm socking it to folks in Italy. Scary. And simply makes the fact that winter is on the way and it won’t be a terrible long time from now before we see things like that coming at us, too. So far, Canada doesn’t appear to be under a solid blanket of cold air and so it isn’t sliding down to affect us yet.  (Sure wish Canada would keep its cold air up there where it belongs) We know, full well, that won’t be the case in probably a matter of weeks from now. Not looking forward to any of it.

Currently 43 with an average wind from the NE of 8 mph. Feels like 38. Dew Point 37, Humidity 80%, Barometer 29.92 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:16 am, Sunset 6:33 pm.  Mostly cloudy today with a high of 47. NE winds 5 -10 mph.

Cloudy tonight, low 34. NNE 5 -1 0 mph.

Tons of leaves all over the place and they’re too damp to do much with at this point. Alas…

I was taking heart that the Old Farmer’s Almanac sounded as if it predicted a slightly above temperature, below precipitation winter for us. However, listening to the report out from the government figures, it appears to be exactly the opposite of that. Not what we want to hear. Colder with more snow? What the heck is good about that? Yeah, I know. We have a weak El Nino or what ever coming along this year. Swell. No matter what the excuse, Old Man Winter will give us what comes along and the best we can do is the best we can do.
