This is simply downright cold. It’s brutal outside this morning. Yesterday and today, first thing looking out the window into this bitter cold air it looks as if the air itself is pale white. Like every molecule of air is coated with ice. Very strange. And getting out into it to feed the birds and critters? Uncomfortable is putting it mildly. Bundled up even with a face covering, shoveling the overnight snow for a path out to where I feed the birds and critters was not fun.

We may be slowly coming out of this on Wednesday – nothing quick mind you, but a bit higher and warmer than we are right now. We’ll still be no warmer than in the 20s all week. This is sheer winter, no question about. Be careful out there. Doesn’t take long for your skin to be damaged by this kind of cold. I’m thinking we’re really going to be grateful by the time spring rolls around this year.

 

Currently 5 degrees with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like -6 degrees. Dew Point 6, Barometer 30.29, Humidity 98%, Visibility 1.5 mi., Sunrise 8:08 am, Sunset 5:39 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until noon on Wednesday. 3-5″ snow possible. Dangerous cold wind chills as low as -24 degrees. This gives you, max, about 30 minutes before your skin isn’t damaged by frostbite.

100% chance of snow showers. 1-2″ possible. High 5-10. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25. Wind Chill Reading as low as -15 degrees.

90% chance of snow showers. 1-3″ possible. Low near -5 below. W winds 5-16 mph. Wind Chill Readings to as low as -18 below degrees.

This is bitter, brutal cold weather. If you absolutely have to be outside, please take precautions against damage to your skin. Better yet, stay inside or severely limit your exposure outside. And as cold as today is, tomorrow promises to be even worse. Be careful, folks. This weather is nothing to fool around with. By Thursday we should see the light at the end of the tunnel and be way, way up to the 20s – which will seem comfortable in comparison. Wednesday is still going to be too darn cold, but not quite as brutal as today and tomorrow. Take care of yourself, your pets and anyone you think might be in trouble and need help to live through this weather.

Currently 12 with an average wind from the WNW of 3 mph. Feels like 7 degrees. Dew Point 6, Barometer 30.07, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 8:08 am, Sunset 5:38 pm.

70% chance of snow showers. 1″ or less expected. High  near 15. NW winds 5-15 mph.

70% chance of overnight snow showers. 1-3″ expected. Low zero to 5 above. NW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 25. Wind chill readings as low as -3 to -13 below zero.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 4:00 pm Sunday through 7:00 pm Tuesday. 3-5″ of snow. Wind chill readings from -15 to -25 below zero range.

If you absolutely have to be out and about over the next several days, please be careful. Try to stay as warm as possible and take precautions against frostbite which, in the temperatures we’re expecting, won’t take long to damage your skin. By next Wednesday, the worst of this will be over and we will be back, at least, into the 20 degree range. That will seem almost balmy by comparison. Not much to say about this Siberian air mass coming to us through Canada beyond the fact that we could jolly well live without it – and hopefully can live through it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Currently 28 with an average wind from the NNW of 10 mph. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 18, Barometer  29.77, Humidity 59%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:09 am, Sunset 5:36 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of snow showers. High near 30. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Mostly cloudy with a 30% chance of snow showers. Low near 10. N winds 5-10 mph.

There is no sugar coating the weather taking aim at us. It’s going to be brutal cold by Tuesday and there is a chance of snow off and on most days. Ordinarily I’d say this is a good time to be in one of the southern states. However, this frigid air is going to be spilling down as far as the gulf coast in places. At least we’re more prepared for cold and snow than the absolute south states- supposedly. Not that it’s going to make things any better. All we can do is be prepared. Seriously. Take all precautions with what you are wearing, the safety measures you have with you in your car, the time spent outside courting frostbite. Thinking spring isn’t really going to be all that helpful during this weather ordeal, better to be spending your time in trying to stay safe.

Currently 28 with an average wind from the SE of 6 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 29.79, Humidity 83%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:10 am, Sunset 5:35 pm.

Cloudy becoming mostly sunny with a high in the upper 30s. S winds 10-20 with gusts to around 40.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of rain and snow showers. Low in the lower 20s. SW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 30 becoming NW 5-15 mph.

Today will be a good day to get out and about. Maybe tomorrow. After that? I’d plan on staying in and staying warm. Monday and Tuesday will be wicked cold with Siberian air coming down to us through Canada. Look for some snow chances during next week – as of now, nothing big or harsh. And after Tuesday it will be a tad warmer. Thankful for that!

Currently 25 with an average wind from the SSW of 5 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 29.71, Humidity 100%, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 8:10 am, Sunset 5:34 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of morning snowflakes. High in the lower30s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy with a low of 2o. NW winds around 10 mph becoming SW overnight.

Today won’t be all bad and look for a bit of a break tomorrow. Even a peek of sunshine. After that, it’s all downhill into the frigid Siberian air coming in the beginning of the week. Expecting clouds, chances of snow flurries and continually falling temperatures after today and tomorrow. Be prepared.

 

Currently 18 with an average wind of 4 mph from the S. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 16, Barometer 30.32, Humidity 90%, Visibility 3 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5:33 pm.

Cloudy today with a high in the lower 20s. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

70% chance of snow showers. 1-2″ possible. Low 15-20. SW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

An interesting morning. A few breaks in the clouds allowing some pale blue sky to show through. Lazy snowflakes floating around. And cold. Thing is except for a very small so-called warm up Thursday through Saturday (if you can call getting as high as 30 degrees warm) we are set to plunge even deeper into cold air. By Monday next week the Siberian cold air is going to make it seem absolutely  brutal. Tuesday not much better but we seem to be lifting a bit by next Wednesday…at least not frigid, bitter cold. You are just going to have to be careful. If you don’t have to be outside on Monday – don’t be. Only takes a very few minutes for frostbite to create havoc with your skin…and all too often, it can’t be reversed. Dangerous temperatures on the way, keep that in mind.

Currently 14 with an average wind from the WNW of 4 mph. Feels like 7 degrees. Dew Point 13, Humidity 100%, Barometer 30.09, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5:32 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of snow. High around 20. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Mostly cloudy overnight. Low around 15 W winds 5-10 mph.

Our Winter Weather Advisory until Wednesday at 1:00 am remains in effect.

Look for a brief – very brief – warm up of sorts about Thursday through Saturday. If we can call hitting 30 warm, that’s what we’re looking at. However, after that prepare for a blast of Siberian cold air to drop us down into dangerous numbers. Monday and Tuesday will be brutal, so be careful.

So far, my area is only getting light snow. It would be fine and dandy if this particular storm manages to move south like those in our past.  If that does happen we may or may not be getting a lot of snow. But, we will for certain sure be getting the cold weather moving in from Siberia. That we aren’t going to be able to dodge.

Currently 19 with an average wind from the SW of 5 mph. Feels like 10 degrees. Dew Point 19, Humidity 99%, Barometer 29.95, Visibility 1.1 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5:31 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 7:00 pm today through 1:00 am tomorrow. Lake effect snow with areas of blowing and drifting snow. 2-4″ expected with local higher amounts possible.

60% chance of snow. High in the lower 20s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

90% chance of overnight snow. Low near 10. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

In addition to this current winter weather advisory which is not sounding like fun – downright unpleasant winter weather seems to be in our forecast. Pretty much going to stay chilly with off and on snow for about what seems like ever. And be ready for the beginning of next week when we will drop in to brutal temperature numbers. So…frigid weather with snow is in our forecast. Swell. Bundle up and be weather aware is all I can say.

Currently 27 with an average wind from the SE of 7 mph. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 26, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.79, Visibility 1.8 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:29 pm

90% chance of snow showers. 1″ or less expected. High in the lower 30s. S winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

70% chance of overnight snow showers. Again 1″ or less expected. Low 15-20. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Roads could be slick this morning so do drive a bit slower than usual. Temperature and light snow is making an impact on road conditions. Do expect some snow tomorrow and Tuesday. As of now, doesn’t look like a drastic amount, but enough to cause problems – as most winter conditions do. Temperatures should stay right around what we’re getting today. Except for maybe around Tuesday which is sounding like another frigid offering. Pretty much a Michigan January.
