It’s far too early in the season to be setting new low overnight temperatures of 7 degrees. What on earth does this indicate for the rest of our winter? I mean when it’s really, truly winter? Nothing good, that’s for certain. This is, indeed shaping up to be one lousy, rotten season. And we did end up with a good 5″ of snow from yesterday’s system. Ridiculous.

Currently 25 with an average wind from the N of 7 mph. Feels like 17 degrees. Dew Point 23, Humidity 92%, Barometer 30.24 & rising, Visibility 0.3 mi., Sunrise 7:29 am, Sunset 5:21 pm.

Arctic air blasting down through most of the nation is going to be bringing snow to many of us, but likely record setting cold weather to pretty much all. This is way too early for such nonsense. Going to be a wicked, long winter this time around. Not too many folks are happy about this. I know for sure I’m not.

Currently 37 with an average wind from the West of 5 mph. Feels like 34. Dew Point 36, Humidity 94%, Barometer 29.95 & rising, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:27 am, Sunset 5:23 pm.

Okay, so yesterday my tiny backyard was full of dead brown leaves and I thought about getting out there to rake them up – but – the wind was coming from the wrong direction and besides, today’s forecast was for some sunshine and 40+ degrees. Perfect. The wind would be coming from the NW, which would help me in the direction I have to rake the leaves, so today’s plan was to get out there and do one last clean up on that patch of dirt I call a back yard. Now, this morning the forecast is tossing in rain and barely 40 degrees. Come on…where’s the fairness in this? Give us a break! I don’t care. I’m getting out there and raking even if I’m being rained on. Another cold surge with snow is taking aim at us and this will be my last chance. Would have been nice, but it will be what it is. Thanks a lot, Mother Nature.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the S of 12 mph. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 17, Humidity 57%, Barometer 30.02 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:26 am, Sunset 5:24 pm.

Cloudy morning becoming a partly cloudy afternoon. High 41. SW winds 10 -20 mph.

Cloudy tonight with a low of 34. WSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Personally, I’m so happy that the next couple of days with be ‘mild’ as my outdoor electric outlet has given up the ghost and isn’t allowing the heated bird bath do properly do it’s job. First clue was the morning I went out to refill it and feed the birds only to find a solid chunk of leaf crusted ice. Not good. So, hopefully by the beginning of next week, when the cold comes crashing down on us again, it will be fixed. I will appreciate that. The birds and critters that frequent that spot will appreciate it.

Currently 24 with an average wind from the NNW of 3 mph. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 21, Humidity 87%, Barometer 30.46 & rising, Barometer 30.46 & rising, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:25 am, Sunset 5:25 pm.

My, but there doesn’t appear to be a whole lot of variety in our days coming up.  A chance of rain or snow every day until about the end of next week – and even at that, they’re only giving us one supposedly dry day. Who knows? By the time that day arrives it might have  joined the rest of the dreary days, not even giving us one tiny break. We’ll see. I’m already wishing for nice summer days.

Currently 26 with an average wind from the NW of 7 mph. Feels like 17 degrees. Dew Point 19, Humidity 76%, Barometer 30.39 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:23 am, Sunset 5.26 pm.

Partly cloudy with a few snow showers likely. Low 21. NW winds 5 -10 mph.

Well, they had predicted 1-3″ of snow yesterday and I did measure about 2″ of snow in my gauge this morning. Also discovered my heated bird bath isn’t working. Fine. Means I’ll have to get a new one. Can’t believe winter is upon us so soon and so completely. I somehow doubt we’re going to have to worry about a White Christmas – for those who bother worrying about something like that. I’ve got this feeling we’re going to be seeing way, way too much white before this season goes away.

Currently 32 with an average wind from the S of 5 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 30, Humidity 93%, Barometer 30.35 & falling, Visibility .03 mi. 100% chance of morning snow will become afternoon rain. 1-3″ snow expected. High 37. SW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Mostly cloudy with a 70% chance of evening snow showers. Less than 1″ expected. Low around 25. NNW winds 5- 10 mph.

Besides about 3 rounds of cold air that are going to be swooping down on us, it sounds as if snow now and again will be around to accompany the chilly air. Swell. Nothing like Winter. Seriously. There is nothing like Winter. And that doesn’t mean anything good, by the way.

Currently 36 with an average wind from the W of 9 mph. Feels like 29 degrees. Dew Point 26, Barometer 30.19 & rising, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:21 am, Sunset 5:28 pm.

Mostly cloudy becoming partly cloudy. There is a slight chance of a rain shower or wet snow shower. High 39. W winds 10 – 20 mph.

Mostly clear with a possibility of flurries or snow showers late. Low 26. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

Not bad right now, but it sounds as if by next week we’re going to be shivering. In fact, it appears there are 3 separate blasts of cold air funneling down on us. Not a pleasant thought. This winter is already shaping up to be one we’re not going to be fond of.

Currently 47 with an average wind from the SW of 13 mph. Feels like 42 degrees. Dew Point 39, Barometer 29.88, Humidity 73%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:20 am, Sunset 5:30 pm. Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of a rain shower. High near 50. WSW winds 10 -20 mph.

Partly cloudy with a rain shower or wet snow shower possible. Low 33. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

So far not a bad morning a few thin patches in the clouds. Not thin enough to allow an actual sunbeam to break through, but a little lightness here and there. Good enough, I guess. Tomorrow sounds like a day offering us plenty of sunshine. So far, anyway. Things change quickly here, of course, but fingers are crossed.

Currently 33 with an average wind from the SW of 5 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 217, Barometer 30.16 & rising, Humidity 77%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:18 am, Sunset 5:31 pm.

Cloudy with a high around 44 degrees. SW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy tonight with an 80% chance of light rain. Low 39. S winds 10-20 mph.

The wind this morning is just plain cold. Hints left behind from yesterday’s hail and snow, all of which came and went off and on, making it a miserable day. Hail, a few times, came straight down and heavy. Large hail stones. Not fun. Today is dry, just cold.
