I'm sure if it rains it would snow. Last year cameras only picked up snow one day during the winter although it was enough to stay on the ground for a couple of days. I like it when you have highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s, but single digit and teens... yeah Imma pass on that one. It's freaking 2 degrees right now in Boone with a low of -6!!! Hell no!

Temperature wise, what day of this coming week would you be ok with traveling up that way... Our house is near Boone. We've got 2 little boys and our cat and dog and the last thing we want to deal with is dangerous roads or power outages. We got a text saying to limit the use of electronics for the next 24 hours, which doesn't directly apply to us of course since we are in Florida. We were going to go up on Mon, but Tues is looking more ideal. Been going our whole lives, but this storm seems to be hitting different

I'm probably the wrong person to ask, I don't handle the cold very well, at least not for long periods. Weather says steady rise in temps starting Monday so personally I would go Monday or later in the week if I can. Doesn't show any snow, but honestly up there I dunno how accurate it is. Our house is south of Boone on lower elevation and we could have a nice sunny day, drive 30min to Boone and it's a freaking blizzard up there.

M_Six · 12-23-2022, 10:53 PM

I'm happy the temps won't quite hit 0F tonight. Crazy weather ahead, though. Overnight *lows* later next week will be in the 50F range. That'll feel like Spring.

Llarry · 12-24-2022, 06:09 AM

Very weird last 18 hours or so. Freezing rain coats everything (including my dog and llamas outside), but then temp suddenly comes up to 48F. We're up at 1300 foot elevation and the temp in Salem and Portland, Oregon, is still freezing and suddenly we're a balmy 48. I think this was a version of the cold air coming down the Columbia River gorge and hitting Portland, then hanging a left and pouring down the valley towards us, but hugging the ground. Meanwhile, we are above the cold. Not sure what happened, but I (selfishly) like it!

JJ 911SC · 12-24-2022, 06:40 AM

Only a few inches but the wind made a mess of it. I rarely got snow on the BBQ (under a 4' overhang). Should be light enough the clean it and the hot tub cover with the leaf blower.

cb804 · 12-24-2022, 06:54 AM

Crazy temps in Chicago... yesterday -5 degrees. Today it's -1. Next week rain and mid 40's

br438 · 12-24-2022, 07:06 AM

6 degrees with 1" of snow lingering on the ground... and regional power supplier requiring all local utilities to enact rolling blackouts on the hour.

.... grrrrr. If we have more people and more industry move to an area to live and work, then we need to grow our power generation to meet the demand. We all knew that as kids playing SimCity.

Gotta charge up those cars, ya know. I don't think the folks who are pushing for 100% electric vehicles by the end of this decade are considering where their power is going to come from. California already has issues with their power grid and they want everyone to drive E-vehicles?

Warming up to a balmy 12F or so here, but still some serious wind. It's the wind that's the killer. Just going out to check the mailbox is painful.

We must be in the same area of TN. Fortunately I am on a grid with a Firestation, so haven't had a blackout yet, but everyone around me has.

M_Six · 12-24-2022, 08:37 AM

How long do those rolling blackouts last? Hours or minutes?

Dpc2u · 12-24-2022, 08:39 AM

Around here 30 to 60 minutes and they are saying as often as every 2 hours.

We have been 10-12 minutes off every 40-60 minutes.

My issue is... this is not unprecedented weather. hahaha... this is unprecedented backward momentum of the infrastructure-to-society relationship. hahahahaa... It's 12deg F and sunny. No way should we need rolling blackouts to meet demand. ok. I'll settle down now. hahaha

Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas everybody!

King tide today on Humboldt Bay

dradernh · 12-25-2022, 09:23 AM

Our temp has finally risen above 10° F (yay!).

There's a minor heat wave coming - temps will be 10° higher each day until we're above 60° F.

E92inNC · 12-25-2022, 09:55 AM

Experiencing my first cold having moved from Phoenix to NC end of summer. The overflow ponds froze over so I threw a rock and got a satisfying thunk. The upper 20s felt really good this morning walking my pup.

JJ 911SC · 12-26-2022, 06:15 PM

Above freezing point later this week...

Kowalski2011 · 12-26-2022, 09:20 PM

14 inches of snow, a lot of which hasn't made it to the ground yet...

Llarry · 12-27-2022, 05:25 AM

Just days after a freezing rain event (with the accompanying havoc on the highways) we're now in the 50s and raining. Raining a lot!

(Checks calendar) -- is this really late December?
