Yesterday, the first day of Spring brought us a pretty steady snowy afternoon. In fact, I was out driving in it and at one point looked suspiciously like a white-out. Nasty weather for what is supposed to be the gentle season of Spring. And nothing in the next week’s forecast indicates Spring is intending to be any more kind to us than that.

Currently 40 with a SSW wind of 11 mph making it feel like 33 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 30.09 & falling, Humidity 63%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 7:54 pm. Party cloudy morning to become a cloudy afternoon with a 90% chance of rain, perhaps some snowflakes mixed in. High around 41. S winds 10 -20 mph.

Cloudy with an 80% chance of overnight rain/snow mix. Low 33. ESE winds 5 – 10 mph.

That rotten S words refuses to vanish, to clear out of our picture. Oh, we sure do wish it would as we’ve had enough. Naturally, any that falls now will go away quickly, but still…

Currently 28 with an average wind from the SSE of 2 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 24. Barometer 30.40 & rising. Humidity 85%, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:47 am, Sunset 7:53 pm. Partly cloudy with a high of 45.

Clear overnight skies. Low 31. SSW winds 5- 10 mph.

Not warming up a tremendous amount yet, but it should get over the freezing mark enough to help alleviate some of the snow cover that still lingers in shaded areas…like my tiny backyard. I’m still gingerly walking over ice and snow to get to the area where I feed the birds and critters. No sunshine hits out there, so I hang on to that snow cover much longer than I care to. Need to see more warm rain and higher temperature numbers for awhile to get rid of all of it.

Currently 30 with a SW wind of 3 mph. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 25, Barometer 30.36 & rising, Humidity 81%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:49 am, Sunset 7:51 pm. Sunny to partly cloudy today. High 41. WSW winds 10 – 15 mph.

Clear to partly cloudy tonight, low 26. SW winds 5 -1 0 mph.

Watching the heartbreaking pictures of the historic flooding in Nebraska, Iowa is hard to do. Going to take a long, long time to overcome the damage and loss there. My heart goes out to those folks. Thankfully, nothing like that going on here. Today will be rather blah and uneventful. Under the circumstances of what’s happening elsewhere, that’s not a bad thing.

Another picture of my much loved Black Squirrels. This is the one who appears to have blue eyes. Is that possible? I don’t know, but every time I catch a picture of this one guy, his eyes definitely look blue.

Currently 31 with an average wind from the S of 8 mph making it feel like 24 degrees. Dew Point 19, Barometer 30.27 & falling, Humidity 60%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:51 am, Sunset 7:50 pm. Cloudy today with a high around 39. WSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Clear skies, low 22, NW winds 5 – 10 mph.

On this St. Patrick’s Day our weather is mild. A tad chilly but no wind to speak of so it’s not such a cold fee outside as we’ve been dealing with. Supposedly the Robins are back. Why? Goodness knows. There most certainly isn’t anything for them to eat and not much of anything available for them to build nests with. I’m thinking  Robins perhaps aren’t the brightest of birds or they would have remained in the south with a chance of not freezing their tail feathers off for awhile.

In the meantime, enjoy this holiday. As the saying goes, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. So, like it or not, today you’re Irish. Celebrate accordingly.

Currently 30 with a W wind of 10 mph making it fee like 22 degrees. Dew Point 20, Barometer 30.25 & rising, Humidity 65%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:53 am, Sunset 7:45 pm. Cloudy skies with morning snow showers will be come partly cloudy in the afternoon. High 36. WNW winds 10 – 20 mph.

A few passing overnight clouds, low 23. WNW winds becoming S 10 – 15 mph.

Oh yeah…Mother Nature simply can’t let go and just go. A dusting of fresh snow this morning was not a pleasant sight and there’s still a chance of some flurries tomorrow. More than ready to have the S word vanish from our weather picture.

Must be getting to be Spring -whether it looks it or not – as the guys from next door have started Sugaring. Will be interesting to watch as they’ve never done this before.

Currently 37 with a WSW wind of 14 mph making it feel like 28 degrees. Dew Point 36, Barometer 29.70 & rising, Humidity 98%, Visibility 2 mi., Sunrise 7:55 am, Sunset 7:48 pm. 100% chance of rain/snow mix this morning transitioning to all snow showers in the afternoon. Hi. mid 30s. W winds 10 -20 mph.

50% chance of snow showers, low 27. WNW winds 10 -20 mph.

Well, yesterday was interesting. A bit of sun, rain, wind…and it left us with nothing but a gloomy overcast sky and the chance of more snow showers. Swell. Just what we need all right. Because my tiny backyard is pretty much all shade, I still have almost an inch of snow ground cover over most of it. Along with a lot of ice on the path I use to get out to feed the critters every morning. I really need that to be gone. Hopefully by June or so. Enough winter already!

Currently 53 with a SSE wind of 15 mph making it feel like 49 degrees. Dew Point 50, Barometer 29.56 & falling, Humidity 87%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:56 am, Sunset 7:47 pm. Partly cloudy to cloudy with an 80% chance of rain. Some thunder possible. High 61. S winds 15 – 25 mph.

Cloudy with a 60% chance of rain. Thunder possible. Low 38. SW winds 15 – 25 mph with gusts to 40 possible.

Watching, this morning one of my favorites critters, a small black squirrel, do his ‘spy’ routine. I put the unsalted nuts and seeds out there & the critters all come running. All but this little guy. He starts – always – way off in the distance, and sneaks from tree to tree to shrub…pausing at every one to take a look ahead to see if…I don’t know…the coast is somehow his idea of clear? At any rate, it takes him so long to approach the kitchen area, he’s lucky to get anything left. Every single day. He’s a hoot.

Waiting for the rain to start this afternoon along with some wind. There is a wind advisory in effect until late today. I imagine this is part of Winter Storm Ulmer who is raising havoc across the country with a vengeance. I reckon we’re lucky to be only getting what is coming our way.

Currently 37 with an average wind from the S of 11 mph making it feel like 30 degrees. Dew Point 35, Barometer 29.99 & falling, Humidity 92%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:57 am, Sunset 7:45 pm. 60% chance of morning rain, cloudy afternoon skies. High 48. S winds 10 -15 mph.

50% chance of overnight rain. Some thunder likely. Low 44. SE winds 10 -20 mph.

Feeling lucky this morning watching Winter Storm Ulmer beginning to crank up in the midwest. Pretty sure we won’t get much of anything from this one…maybe rain and some wind on Thursday, but nothing at all of what they’re going to be dealing with in the middle of the country. Looks like one ugly blizzard brewing. Sorry for them, happy for us. I just hope folks are smart enough to stay off the roads and let that one fly by. This one, I think, is going to be a true blizzard – not something seen every winter storm that’s blown across the nation this year.

Currently 31 with an average wind from the SW of 9 mph making it feel like 23 degrees. Dew Point 22, BArometer 30.37 & falling, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:59 am, Sunset 7:44 pm. Sunny today, high 45. SW winds 5 – 10 mph.

60% chance of overnight rain, low 35. S winds 5-10 mph.

Going to lose a lot of the ground snow cover now. Sunshine today, rain tonight…nice temperatures the rest of the week. Oh yeah…finally should lose all but the remainders of the mountains left over from snow plowing. We are more than ready to see the ground again. Even if it means a muddy clean up ahead, we’ll deal with it ’cause we’re sure tired of dealing with snow. Things are looking up.
