Murphy's Weather

Currently 20 with a SSW wind of 11 mph making it feel like 8 degrees. Dew Point 20, Humidity 99%, Barometer 30.09 & falling, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 7:56 am, Sunset 5:55 pm. Partly cloudy morning becoming a cloudy afternoon with a 50% chance of freezing drizzle. High 38. SW winds 10 -20 mph.

50% chance of drizzle overnight, dense fog. Low 34. SSW winds 10 -15 mph.

Not a bad morning, much better than the past week has been. At least the temperature and the wind chill is over zero. Would be nice to be able to say we’re going to finally have a dry weekend, but Mother Nature is a beastly creature at best, so no, we can’t go that far. Chance of drizzle, freezing drizzle, rain. Just more discomfort added to what’s already here. I’d love to get out to the store this morning. SO much snow out there and the roads are still a nightmare for the most part. Just so tired of this weather.

And yes, that annual rodent popped out and predicted an early Spring, but right here, right now, nobody is going to be much in the mood to believe it. Would be nice, but not very darn likely.

Currently 3 with an ESE wind of 4 mph making it feel like -4 degrees. Dew Point -6, Humidity 61%, Barometer 30.42 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:57 am, Sunset 5:54 pm.  Mix of sun and clouds today, high 16. SSE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy tonight with a low of 8 mph, SSW  winds 10 -15 mph.

First day in some time where we have an above zero temperature. Wind chill still down there, but this tiny warm up is encouraging.  Still 15″ of snow on the ground, but only a scant .20 feel last night. That’s good as the snow simply did not want to quit this week.

I’ve heard that the entire month of February is due to be below average, which is NOT good news, but hey…we’re heading in the right direction. Eventually it’s going to warm up and put this dismal winter behind us. Can’t wait!

Currently -7 with a W wind of 8 mph making it feel like -23.  Dew Point -12, Humidity 79%, Barometer 30.07 & rising, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:58 am, Sunset 5:52 pm. Early peeks at the sun, but most cloudy with a few snow flurries possible, high 5. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

Very cold. -3 for a low. Light and variable winds.

Winter Storm Warning continues through Today.

Beastly cold still. The snow I track in from  going out to feed the critters early morning that gets trapped by the back door never even thaws out from day to day now. It’s unbearable cold outside with wind chills in the -20 range. Yesterday the temperature never got above 0. We’ve all been asked by one of the utility companies to turn our thermostats down to 65 or lower through Friday. This is a cold spell nobody is going to soon forget. Much like we still talk about the blizzard of ’78, we’ll be remembering the Polar Vortex of ’19 for many years to come. Add the 15″ of snow we now have as ground cover and you can see, it’s been a miserable stretch of weather.

The picture is from my son, Bill, who took this early this morning of a rainbow attempting to form in the frigid air. Never saw anything that strange. It’s beautiful.

Currently 14 with an average wind from the SW of 15 mph making it feel like -2. Dew Point 10, Humidity 84%, Barometer 29.80, Visibility 0.8 mph, Sunrise 8:00am, Sunset 5:50 pm. Very cold, 90% chance of snow showers today, 3-5″ more expected, WSW winds 5 – 15 mph.

Bitterly cold tonight, -8 degrees expected, 50% chance of snow showers. W winds 15 -25 mph.

Winter Storm Warning In Effect Until 1:00pm Thursday.

Got a fresh 3″ of snow last night making it about 11″ on the ground this morning. It’s not only the snow, but the brutal cold that’s so dangerous. Tomorrow promises to be scary with actual temperatures at zero or below. It only takes minutes to make frostbite on exposed skin. People don’t really realize how quickly that can happen – until they are shown pictures of those who were caught unaware. Not pretty. I’ll tell you, the only time I’m going to be outside is to dash out and sweep off the place where I feed the critters and scatter a new offering in the morning. Did that already today. It’s cold. And I’m not shoveling anymore. Did a bit of that yesterday and even though I keep myself in pretty good shape, I feel it today. I’m done with it.

Currently 6 with an E wind of 16 mph making it feel like -13 degrees. Dew Point 3, Humidity 90%, Barometer 29.82 & falling, Visibility 0.3 mi., Sunrise 8:01 am, Sunset 5:18 pm. Winter Storm Warning in effect until 7pm today. 100% chance of snow, high 19. E winds 20-30 mph. Gusty winds will produce blowing snow.

70% chance of overnight snow. Low 7. WNW winds 10 -15 mph.

It’s an ugly day and going to get more so as time goes on. Not only that, but once this winter storm clears out, leaving us plenty of snow, the Polar Vortex is scheduled to visit us next. Our temperatures through the rest of the week will be below zero. Not wind chill. Actually temperatures. A vicious  week of winter weather to contend with.  Got about 5″ of overnight snow and that makes about 10″ on the ground for now.

Currently 9 with a WNW wind of 13 mph making it feel like -6 degrees. Dew Point -2, Humidity 61%, Barometer 30.11 & rising, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 8:02 am, Sunset 5:47 pm. 30& chance of scattered snow showers, partly cloudy afternoon. High 11. W  winds 10 -20mph.

100% chance of overnight snow. 3-5″ likely. Low 2. E winds 5 – 10 mph increasing to 10-20 mph.

Winter Storm Warning in effect until Monday evening. 8-12″ of snow expected, bitter cold temperatures.

Today the sun is peeking in and out of the clouds and it feels almost balmy when it’s putting in an appearance. It isn’t, trust me, but sunshine can work wonders on a person’s spirit.

We are anticipating – well, dreading is more like it – this latest Winter Storm Jayden. This one looks to be intending on taking aim at us, not sliding off to the north, south or anywhere, just barrelling down on our area. This could be a big snow maker that will leave us packed in for some time as the temperatures are going to stay brutal cold for the duration. Everyone is running around today tending to business and I feel badly for those who have to go in to work tomorrow. If this storm comes through, they might well end up being snowed in there – where ever it is. Not good.

Currently 3 with an average wind from the S of 6 mph making it feel like -7. Dew Point -3, Humidity 75%, Barometer 30.22 & falling, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:03 am, Sunset 5:46 pm. Cloudy today with a few snow flurries possible. High 17.

Cloudy tonight with a 50% chance of snow flurries, low 8. SW winds 10 -15 mph.

Cold, but not too much more snow until sometime Sunday night and through Monday where we could, possibly, end up with a foot of new snow. SO not looking forward to this. The brutal cold is going to hang around until maybe next week Sunday where there is a chance of zooming way up into the 20 degree range. Will feel like a heat wave. This is a cruel streak of weather encompassing our nation – all thanks to the ornery Jet Stream bringing the frigid Canadian air with it. Frankly worried about this coming Monday. Should the snow build up and knock out power, I have no idea of how we’ll all survive the zero and below temperatures. Fingers crossed that this storm somehow manages to lessen or slip past us without as much harm as it looks to be bringing.

Currently 9 with a W wind of 13 mph making it feel like -6 degrees. Dew Point 3, Barometer 29.82 & rising, Humidity 74%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 8:04 am, Sunset 5:44 pm. 90% chance of more snow today. High 11. W winds 10 -20 mph.

40% chance of overnight snow, mostly in the evening. Low -1. WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 7pm today.

Measured almost 3″ of overnight snow. At least this one was a lighter, fluffier variety, easier to push a path through. The brutal cold air is going to keep pouring down from Canada through next week. In fact, at the moment, our next Wednesday is scheduled to be only 3 degrees all day long. Sure looking forward to that.

Currently 24 with a W wind of 8 mph making it feel like 15 degrees. Dew Point 16, Barometer 29.82 & rising, Humidity 72%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:05 am, Sunset 5:13 pm. Cloudy with a 60% chance of afternoon snow. High 27. W winds 10 -15 mph.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight snow. Low 8. W winds 15 – 25 mph.

A harsh Arctic Blast is taking aim at the country and it’s going to be brutal. Personally, as ugly as it is out there this morning, I’m going to be out and about trying to tend to some errands, because, frankly, I don’t think I’m going to be outside beyond feeding the critters for the next week. At least.
