We had a lightning strike nearby a half hour ago as a front passes by. Lots of rain at the moment, but it should be over by the end of the year.....

Normally I would have waited until this weekend to take the Xmas lights down, but winter is coming and today wasn't too cold, so the lights are packed away for another year. The predicted snow totals for Sun/Mon keep going up. I was hoping for the opposite.

My DW took down all of the lights that she put up around noon, before the temperatures here tumbled and winds kicked up.
Speaking of winds, we're under a wind advisory through Thursday evening for 40+ MPH gusts. I haven't looked to see where the low is that is causing these winds, and am hoping that it's not a bomb cyclone exploding over the Canadian Maritimes.....

42 when I drove out at 6 this morning. Supposed to get up to upper 70s.
The Santa Ana fire-weather winds didn't make an appearance, and the humidity stayed up enough that I had wet grass in am last couple days. Back to low 60s after today.

warmth didn't materialize, and suddenly we are socked in with fog. Bet it is warmer about at my house some 10 miles from the coast, which is sucking the moisture in off the ocean.

This has been the pattern ever since we moved here 23 years ago. Once or twice a winter we get dumped on, then the temps plummet for a week, guaranteeing the snow hangs around for ages. Of course it's going to be dangerously windy while it snows, making it nearly impossible to keep the roads or my driveway clear.

Six inches of snow fell in the last 24-30 hours with a winter storm watch until 7:00am. 25° with a low of 15° tonight. Winds at 10 -15 mph. Just plain crappy.

We had a heavy dusting on New Year's Day, and a light dusting Saturday morning. The wind is still gusting over 20 MPH, but at least our highs are supposed to be around freezing. There's another snowstorm forecasted for tomorrow, but it looks like it is tracking south of us and we might see anything from bupkis to a dusting from it.....

Only about 4" so far. Easy enough to clear off the driveway. It's still snowing and is supposed to keep on until tomorrow morning, so there will be more shoveling.

Ran across a well made clip from satellite images showing the lake effect over the great lakes. This is from the last week or so. (mostly in the last half of the video)
That being said, we barely have had any snow here. Maybe 3" over the weekend. I'm definitely not in the snow belt even though the clouds say otherwise. |

Still coming down. Round Two of shoveling starting soon. Getting my exercise for the day, at least.

4" so far here in Cincinnati, OH with a lot more on the way. Calling for 5-8" over night with an additional 1-3" over the course of the morning / early afternoon hours tomorrow.
Will try and get pictures.
