Today is going to be the best we get for a while. Tomorrow and Thursday aren’t going to be nearly as accommodating. Winter Storm Olive is going to be swinging through leaving us with snow, ice, sleet…nothing good. The best scenario would be for snow. As of now, it doesn’t look like that band of ice is going to slide south far enough to leave us out of the mix. Just do be careful. Depending on how much of the ice feature we get, be prepared for power outages. And do make the decision to stay home if it all looks to be coming at us in force. You don’t want to get stuck someplace you don’t want to be spending all your time should you be unable to get back home. And I don’t know about you, but even at my best job, I never got paid enough to risk crashing my car trying to drive on ice. it’s foolhardy to even think you’ll be good at it. Nobody is. Ice always wins. Every single time.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the NW of 2 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 29, Barometer 29.71, Humidity 92%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:33 am, Sunset 6:19 pm.

Today will be nice and calm. Rather pleasant. Tomorrow maybe not quite so nice but be ready for Wednesday and Thursday. They could be as far from pleasant and nice as possible. Right now it does look as if Winter Storm Olive is going to be presenting us with ice. And it could amount to a lot of ice. I’d much rather see us in the snow belt of this storm, and things may change should the storm pattern shifts, but for now it doesn’t look as if we’re going to be that fortunate.  Keep an eye on the forecast and be ready. If, indeed, we do get the ice part here, do stay off the roads. There is NO skill involved in driving on ice. No tires created to keep you safe on ice. There is only luck and not very many of us are lucky enough to escape damage to our vehicles or even to ourselves.  Be smart. Be careful. Be alert.

Currently 36 with an average wind from the SSE of 6 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 29.74, Humidity 71%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:34 am, Sunset 6:18 pm.

Partly sunny with a 20% chance of rain until about midday then mostly sunny in the afternoon. High in the mid 40s. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 35.

Mostly cloudy with a low in the upper 20s. W winds 10-15 mph becoming NW 5 – 10 mph.

Not a bad day today, tomorrow looks pretty good, too. But later on this week it looks to be messy. Around Wednesday, Thursday, looks like ice, freezing rain, snow…whatever Mother Nature can toss at us. Hopefully this won’t become a problem, but just be watchful and prepared in case. On a positive note, I watched a V of geese fly overhead to the north this morning. Seems a little early, but hey…I’ll take any little sign of an early spring and for me that’s one.

Currently 28 with an average wind from the S of 3 mph. Feels like 18. Dew Point 26, Barometer 30.04, Humidity 84%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:36 am, Sunset 6:17 pm.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy overnight. Low around 30. S winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

A beautiful day, chilly but bright. Look for another nice day tomorrow, but next week isn’t looking entirely wonderful.  Right now it’s around Wednesday, Thursday and perhaps next Saturday but we all know how this miserable stuff can shift around. Word is to expect that ugly freezing rain stuff coming our way. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that won’t happen. For now just enjoy the weekend and today’s sunshine.

Currently 19 with an average wind from the NW of 9 mph. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 11, Barometer 30.05, Humidity 73%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:37 am, Sunset 6:16 pm.

20% chance of morning snow showers. Partly sunny skies after noon with a high near 17. N winds 10-14 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low around 19. SW winds 8-18 mph with gusts as high as 28.

I measured 5″ of snow in my backyard, but that number is deceptive. Because so much of it fell as something close to ice mixed in with the snow, it’s a heavy layer of winter left for us this morning. Shoveling is not a happy event when the snow is like this. It’s the kind that ends up with back aches. Should see some sunshine tomorrow. Not talking about any great warmth to go with it, but at least it will be bright. Look for some snow showers again about mid-week coming up but for now it doesn’t look like anything harsh.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the E of 10 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 29.9, Humidity 97%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:38 am, Sunset 6:34 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 7:00 am Friday.

100% chance of snow possibly mixed with some sleet in the afternoon. 1-4″ likely. High in the lower 30s. NE winds 10-20 mph with gfusts to 30.

90% chance of snow possibly mixed with some freezing rain in the evening then snow overnight. 1-3″ likely. Low 15-20. N winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

This is a tough one to call as far as precipitation. All the wintry variety seems to be involved at some point. Looking at the national maps, there is a huge amount of whatever coming our way. Should it all turn out to be snow, we could end up with a goodly amount. Trouble is, our temperature is going to be right in that range that makes anything possible. Lots of snow, sleet, freezing rain…all of those miseries mentioned in our forecast. I think the bottom line is be careful if you must be out and about later today or tonight. The roads will probably not be pleasant to drive on. My hope is that it all blows through overnight and leaves us with some sunshine tomorrow as a reward for making it to the finish line. For sure we are going to get a mess of winter, just not 100% sure what variation. Be prepared and stay safe. Winte Storm Nova will definitely be paying us a visit.

Currently 46 degrees with an average wind from the S of 12 mph. Feels like 37 degrees. Dew Point43, Barometer 29.44, Humidity 92%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:40 am, Sunset 6:13 pm.

Cloudy and windy with a 50% chance of rain until about midday. High around 50. SW winds 20-30 mph with gusts to 50 mph.

Cloudy with a low in the upper 20s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30 becoming N 5-10 mph overnight.

What a blustery, wet little morning this is. Right now the temperature is about 5 degrees less than what I go up, so I suspect we’ve seen our high early on. Can hear the wind roaring around in the upper tree regions.  Down here on ground level it’s rather brisk, too. Be prepared for some very strong gusts of wind today as Winter Storm Nora blows on in for a visit. Today, nothing but rain. Tomorrow is another story. As of right now, we’re expecting rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow…just the usual winter suspects. I think the snow will win out and we could end up with 4 or 5″ of it by Friday morning. Maybe more. But who knows? That’s just my guess as of this minute.

Currently 37 with an average wind from the SE of 6 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 29, Barometer 29.79, Humidity 67%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:41 am, Sunset 6:12 pm.

Going to be some interesting weather. Enjoy the morning sunshine but start to batten down the hatches for some expected wind coming in later and through tomorrow.  And Thursday could be a mess. Rain, freezing rain, snow? Hard to tell right now, just know it will probably be a dandy day to stay inside.  Oh, and Happy Valentine’s Day. Or as so many people choose to tell it Happy Valentine’s Day Candy On Sale For 70% Off Eve.

Currently 36 with an average wind from the SW of 4 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 33, Barometer 29.58, Humidity 87%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:43 am, Sunset 6:10 pm.

Mostly clear with a low around 30. SW winds 5-10 becoming S overnight.

Just last week it looked like the middle of this week would be warm with plenty of rain. And we were happy about the warm ’cause that was going to keep the snow connected to the oncoming system nothing but rain. Now? Not so sure of that. Currently it looks as if Thursday could have our temperatures low enough to make snow a probability.  Look for plenty of wind on Wednesday as it ushers in whatever we’ll be looking at on Thursday. A wait and see week. In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine today and tomorrow.

Currently 29 with an average wind from the SSW of 5 mph. Feels like 24 degrees. Dew Point 26, Barometer 30.07, Humidity 87%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:44 am, Sunst 6:09 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the mid 40s. SW winds 10-15 mph.

Mostly clear becoming mostly cloudy overnight. Low in the upper 20s. SW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20.

Enjoy today – and maybe tomorrow – cause it looks like the rest of the week is going to be a wet one. Nothing but rain on the agenda until Friday and that’s still mentioning a bit of snow. Whatever we get, it won’t be sunshine. Today would be a dandy day to just be out and about and enjoying the brightness.
