2 inches of snow here. Not bad for early December.
It looks so wintery outside. We haven’t had a proper snow cover in years.
Drizzly
was -12f this morning after 6in. of snow yesterday. struggled to get to 20. chics didnt stick a beak out except to get a quick drink. they hate the snow even more than the cold. a couple cups of cracked corn in the afternoon helps keep them warm in winter.
-11 now with a -18 windchill. Not sure I want to walk this morning.
predicting a -23f windchill tonight with gusts to 40mph… -18 tom. a small warm up sun. but still only in the mid 20’s. glad i got the snowblowing in before that cold front blew through around 2pm.
Look for Northern Lights tonight. Cloudy here. Was ten below last night. I hope the trees and bushes were fully hardened off!
Winter rain. Temps, 40’s- 60’s
We got a couple more inches of snow than expected (about 4"). Disrupted the last day of classes before final exam period. Though the snow is not entirely to blame for the disruption; Sun Belt championship game also helped.
hit -17f here yesterday morning. -5 this morning. many of the bigger lakes are mostly skimmed over.
This has to be the coldest December in 15 years. I can’t remember the last time we had snow and sub freezing temps early December.
my brother and family are currently deer hunting a friends property in easton, MD. he said it was like hunting late nov. here. usually its a lot milder.
Off-season rain! Pretty good amount too, supposed to rain all day into tomorrow. Low 70s/low 50s all week afterwards.
Another 3-4" snow. The old snow was getting shabby.
Temperature anomaly forecast for the week is pretty wild:
Any guesses why the Central Valley is so much colder than the rest of California right now?
Good question!
The answer is fog:
The Central Valley and some of the coastal valleys have been under a fog/low cloud layer for weeks now. It’s a phenomenon we call tule fog, and it used to be much more common in the 70s and 80s. Visibility can get close to zero, and there were some massive pile-ups involving over a hundred cars in the early 2000s. The fog helps stone fruit and pistachio growers reach chilling requirements though.
Supposed to get “wintery mix” here but actually got 4.75" snow.
5"-8" today/tonight. -5 for a high temp on Saturday.
