Feeling the Heat
Generator always on standby here. Bought a 10,000 W. a few years ago, only needed it once but nice piece of mind!
How much freezing rain are they predicting?Thursday and Friday 39 and 43 here, Wednesday and Thursday lows around 35. Friday night 19 again. Thursday rain and Friday freezing rain. Friday night 19 F, Saturday 28 and 17. So any frozen rain will stay...
Generator still ready. Didn't use the gas in the cars yet, so will keep the jerry cans full. We'll see what happens.
Yup cold, but you can sit outside with a beer and not get attacked by black flies!I see online that in Deadhorse Alaska they have a temperature of -50 F with a wind chill of -88 F...
We haven't received the snow like we did last year but that can change in a hurry in our area. I saw today that Accu is calling for 0.71 inches of rain at the end of next week for us, usually that number drops by the time the storm hits.They are talking about it for our area also...will believe it when I see it. Been a real depressing winter here if you like the snow.
Today Accu was saying 0.40 of rain during the day, 0.32 of ice and 1.2 inches of snow on Thursday night. If that forecast stays the same, we'll have a mess around here on Friday.Sure wish that storm would travel about 100 miles further south. As it stands now we are going to get a bunch of rain Wednesday into Thursday with some snow to finish off Thursday. Doesn't look like much snow for us as of now.

Our forecast looks the same from my last post. We'll put the sleds away tomorrow but not for the year.....unless mother nature doesn't give us more snow,Right now the local station is saying about a 1 1/2" of rain Wednesday night into Thursday morning then turning into snow with 1 to 3 inches. They did say the low pressure system is trending further south than previous model runs so that would give us more of the white stuff. Fingers crossed lol. Our ten inches last week has all melted off except in the deepest north facing hollers.
I see this morning Accu is calling for just under an inch of rain with some ice on Thursday, things will be a mess and then the cold weather moves in which will create a bunch of ice.Right now the local station is saying about a 1 1/2" of rain Wednesday night into Thursday morning then turning into snow with 1 to 3 inches.

This morning Accu has us getting 1.40 inches of rain Thursday, things will be a big mess and then the cold weather comes back so we'll have a chit load of ice.Right now the local station is saying about a 1 1/2" of rain Wednesday night into Thursday morning then turning into snow with 1 to 3 inches.

The local station has us getting around 2 1/2" of rain Wednesday night into Thursday morning and then around 4" of snow Thursday. I'm thinking we will probably end up with some ice or sleet though by looking at the radar for that day. We shall see.This morning Accu has us getting 1.40 inches of rain Thursday, things will be a big mess and then the cold weather comes back so we'll have a chit load of ice.
I saw something on the Weather Channel this morning about a quick weather warning because of some nasty weather, they had some wind reports in NJ that hit 66, I wonder if that was the same system that hit your area.A storm hit here around 5am, which set upon us so quickly without warning, that it actually scared me right out of bed. I was already awake, just drifting back off after waking up to take a leak ten minutes prior, and thought something had hit the house. It was just very heavy rain on the skylights in the adjacent master bath, which was followed about a minute later by the power going out, and our UPS systems beeping to let us know about it. One heck of an abrupt depression, I'd guess we got 6" of rain in as many minutes, after which all but the wind was quite again.
Very windy here today. It was an absurdly warm 55F when the storm hit this morning, but we'll be down to 20F in the next few hours. Fun stuff.
