Murphy's Weather

Currently 27 with an average wind of 14 mph making it feel like 16 degrees. Dew Point 18, Barometer 30.29 & rising, Humidity 69%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:01 am, Sunset 7:43 pm. Partly cloudy today with a high of 32. W winds 10 -20 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low near 15. W winds 10 -15 mph.

Nothing much going on today. They are, however, talking about yet another wind storm roaring across the country somewhere around Thursday. Gives us some time to batten down the hatches again…at least those that didn’t blow away during the last two wind storms. What fun.

Currently 34 with an average wind from the WSW of 22 mph making it feel like 22 degrees. Dew Point 30, Barometer 29.61 & rising, Humidity 85%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:03, Sunset 7:42 pm. Cloudy today with a 30% chance of snow showers. High in the mid 30s. Windy. WSW 25-35 with gusts to 40 mph.

Cloudy tonight, low 24. Gusty winds diminishing after midnight.  W winds 20-30 mph with gusts to around 40 mph.

Another wind wrap weather system breezing by. This one not as bad as the last, but that’s a fairly strong wind whipping around out there. And I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m tired. Feels like I got up about an hour earlier than I wanted to. And I hate getting up in the dark. Just when it’s starting to be okay, waking up and seeing light outside the window, they mess around with the time and slam mornings right back into the dark. Pitiful.

Currently 25 with an E wind of 9 mph making it feel like 16 degrees. Dew Point 16, Barometer 30.15 & falling, Humidity 69%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:04 am, Sunset 6:41 pm. Partly cloudy becoming cloudy with an 80% chance of rain. High 34. Windy! SW winds 20 -30 mph.

Same tonight with a 100% chance of rain with wind gust up to 40 mph possible. Low 34.

So, not only are we looking at another wind storm – this one at least with rain rather than snow – but here we are set to run around changing all the clocks to accommodate yet another goofy, disruptive time change. Be sure to be a good little puppet and change them all. You do know that if our elected politicians could stop playing war games among themselves and actually get down to working, they could perhaps come together and put a stop to this unwanted, unnecessary tinkering around with time twice a year. Just pick one. Who cares which one – just pick one and stick with it.

Currently 8 with a NE wind of 2 mph. Feels like 8 degrees. Dew Point 4, Barometer 30.28, Humidity 84%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:06 am, Sunset 6:39.  Mostly sunny today with a high of 35. Light and variable winds.

Clear overnight skies. Low 18. Light and variable winds.

Been a long time since I’ve been able to report a day of mostly sunny skies – and in truth, that’s not what’s happening out there so far. I’d say it’s about half and half sun and clouds, but the hope is there. Plus the knowledge that eventually I’ll be able to say sunny and warm…that’s what’s holding out there like the proverbial carrot on the stick. Keeping us moving along. We’ll get there.

Currently 16 with a WNW wind of 2 mph. Feels like 16 degrees. Dew Point 9, Barometer 30.40 & rising, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:08 am, Sunset 6:38 pm. Cloudy with possible snow flurries or showers early. High 27. WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a low of 11. Light and variable winds.

Well, tomorrow might get up as high as 35 degrees, but nothing close to that today. Still cold, still nothing out there but white to look at. It will gradually warm up – it has to eventually. In the meantime, I seem to be chilled all the time. It may take until about June to warm up, I’m thinking. Maybe July.

Currently 15 with a WSW wind of 9 mph making it feel like 4 degrees. Dew Point 6, Barometer 30.31 & rising, Humidity 66%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:00 am, Sunset 6:37 pm. Mostly cloudy with possible snow flurries. High around 20. WSW winds 10 -20 mph.

Cloudy to partially clear with possible snow flurries overnight. Low 9. WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

At the moment stray snowflakes are drifting around. Have no idea if they plan to band together and add up to anything, just the stray ones are irritating enough for now.

Heartbreaking news from Alabama and Georgia about the recent tornado damage. So many people lost, so many families in pain. I’ll tell you, I’d trade places living in the south rather than the north any time – but – and this is the important part – the first thing, the very first thing I’d do if I moved down there would be to build a tornado shelter. Immediately. Having one might well have saved some – or perhaps all of the lives. I can’t imagine not investing in a shelter. Even if it was a large hole in the ground lined with cement blocks or something, with a cover that could be pulled down and secured from overhead. Not all that fancy and what ever the cost, it would be worth it in my mind. No way could I live down south without the comfort, the security of having a shelter available.

Currently 12 with a W wind of 15 mph making it feel like -4. Dew Point 3, Barometer 30.13 & rising, Humidity 67%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:11 am, Sunset 6:36 pm. Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of morning snow showers. High 16. W winds 15 – 25 mph.

Mostly cloudy tonight with a 40% chance of snow showers. Low 8. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

Not much looking or feeling March-like these days. I know it’s early March, but still…This could be December or January or even February. That’s not nice. It’s time to tuck the cruel winter weather away and bring out something warmer and more pleasant. We’re most certainly ready.

Currently 8 with an average wind from the W of 14 mph making it feel like -9. Dew Point 0, Barometer 30.15 & rising, Humidity 69%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:13 am, Sunset 6:35 pm. Partly cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. High 9. W winds 10 -20 mph.

60% chance of overnight snow showers, low 8. WSW winds 10 -15 mph.

Right now the sky has more sun than clouds showing. Won’t last long, but it sure is a fine sight for now. We already have yet another rotten Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 7pm tonight through 7pm Tuesday. Wonderful! It just never ends. All the more reason to appreciate this little breakthrough from the sun. Still a good 5″ of snow on the ground. Where, oh where, is Spring???

Currently 19 with a NNW wind of 9 mph making it feel like 9 degrees. Barometer 30.21 7 falling, Dew Point 9, Humidity 64%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:14 am, Sunset 6:33 pm. Cloudy today with a high of 21. WNW winds 10-15 mph.

Cloudy tonight with the possibility of snow flurries, low 4. WNW winds 10 -15 mph.

No change in our weather so far. Same old, same old. In fact, it’s as cold as it’s been with no hope for a warm up right quick. Are we sick of being cold? Of having to bundle up to the teeth just to go out the door? Oh yes. It’s time for Mother Nature to turn loose of the winter meanness and bring out a hint of spring kindness. We’re waiting.

Currently 27 with a WNW wind of 19 mph making it feel like 18. Barometer 30.17 & rising, Dew Point 23, Humidity 81%, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:16 am, Sunset 6:12 pm. Cloudy with a 60% chance of snow showers, mostly in the morning. High 31. NNW winds 10 -15 mph.

Overcast tonight. Low 15. Light and variable winds.

It does seem as if Winter Storm Scott will scoot to the south of us. Grateful for that. Not that there won’t be another one trailing along behind…there must be. It seems to be the way it goes this year. Rather tired of it, but since we have no say in the matter, we just keep cleaning up after one storm and getting ready for the next one. Looking forward to the color green. Certainly have seen enough white to last for a good long while.
