yep. teens for highs starting midweek here. next couple days in the mid 30ās i better get out and enjoy it!
We had a pleasant blast of cold last night dropping the temperature to about 50 degrees. Mid 80ās expected later this week.
Mid 30Fsā¦ more snow melting. We lost a lot os snowpack over the weekend. The east/west/south facing roof is snow free againā¦ and the north is almost there.
Jan ended +6.6Fā¦ and about a foot of snow.
Looking out I donāt see anything that hints at subzero Arctic tempsā¦ actually might be hard to find any single digits at least in the next week.
Maybe March will get us. There was a winterā¦around 1999/2000 ishā¦that we didnāt drop below 0F until Marchā¦it was an odd year. I remember taking the boat out in Feb and there was hardly any ice. That was the same year i think we hit 80F in March and i took the boat out that day and the water was so cold and the air so warm that the aluminum was sweating like madā¦

Low 60s yesterday and today, but a bit cooler temps coming with heavy rain tonight and tomorrow. Was hoping we could a week of dry weather to dry the ground out a bit. But, dry winters donāt seem to happen here.
Yes, it was either 1999 or 2000 ā Iād have to do some research to figure out which, as I canāt remember. But, 13 was our low for the entire winter. And that set a record for my lifetime here in KY.
But, so far, we are at about 15 for a low this winter.
I am thinking weāll get colder in the second half of February but time will tell. Will be the highest for a winter low in my part of KY if we donāt dip lower.
Groundhog saw his shadowā¦if that counts. And honeybees are swarming a yard full of crocus todayā¦mid 60ās and cloudy.
Iām getting the years screwed upā¦2000 was the warm Marchā¦ that was the boat year for meā¦ starting March 5th that yearā¦it was 4 days in a row of warmthā¦unheard that early in the yearā¦
70F
74F
82F
74F
It was 2002 that meteo winter (DJF) didnāt have a subzeroā¦ March 3rd was -2F and 4th was -6Fā¦
ā¦ it did hit 0F in Febā¦1F in Jan and 0F in late Decemberā¦ so closeā¦ It was 90F on April 15thā¦ Jan that year had 5 days above 50Fā¦ but Feb and March were 'eh ā¦
Was almost 60F and sunny here yesterday, t-shirt weather. 9.5F outside right now with light snow. Thatās almost a 50F drop.

warmwxrules, I am glad you figured that out for where you are.
Still, here in KY it wasnāt 2002ā¦because I was living in Cleveland County North Carolina 2002, 2003, and Charlotte 2004, 2005, 2006 in the winter monthsā¦and my recollection on Kentuckyās winter wouldnāt be as specific but I was living in Rockcastle County KY 1998-2001. It was during that span that we had our record warm winter here. (Oh, mid-Jan through April I was in Richmond KY in 2004ā¦ and 2005 part in London KY and part in NCā¦it was rather mild doing outdoor construction.)
May well have been different in Wisconsin or Michigan.
The late 90s were very mild winters up here. I met my wife in '97 (she was in high school and i was over at her house constantly) and can still remember that time period being very mildā¦ i think the cold of the early mid 90s flipped to a much warmer stretchā¦
ughā¦iām old.
Looks like the west coast trough and se ridge in the futureā¦

Jan. 1998ā¦oh, I remember that one alright. Forecast called for a ālight dustingā by NWS and all 3 Lexington KY tv channels!
We got 14 inches, and I-75 was closed, and I had to get to a nearby town for removing snow from parking lotsā¦snow removal contract.
Aināt participated in āsnow removalā since. Hibernation is for me in such events!

Yeah those late 90s were nice and mild hereā¦ I would pick my wife up and we would just go drive around almost every single night and i donāt remember any extreme coldā¦although i do think 2000 was very cold winterā¦ so it did bounce back. If you remember '97ā¦the news was all El Ninoā¦all the timeā¦or so it seemedā¦
Going back furtherā¦i remember going out to California in summer '92ā¦ we came back and i remember how cool it was (i think it was August '92)ā¦ and years/decades later only came to figure out it was a '91 eruption of a Pinatubo volcano that probably caused that cooling. Something we really havenāt seen since (or so i think). Maybe Yellowstone will go and weāll see some real cooling.
Chilly day but sunny againā¦that is 4 days in a row os sunshineā¦liking the return of that. Should be around 10F tonite. GFS still only hinting at one cold shot around mid monthā¦but who knowsā¦that might modifty.

Nice! It adds moistureā¦that canāt be bad?
I remember years agoā¦i still have some screen grabsā¦but snow made it all the way down to the gulf coastā¦the beach had snow.i think it was near south padreā¦
Dropped to 9F hereā¦but up to 28F ā¦sunshine again. Man these sunny days are so much nicer then the never ending cloudiness.
3rd week of Feb has a nice trough into the southwestā¦while summer comes to the southeastā¦quite a difference from west to eastā¦

Tornado warning in several nearby locations. Looks like we will be on watch all night.
I think that may be the same system moving our way. @dutch-s, I expect you guys will get hit with that early/late afternoon as it moves west to east across Floridaā¦Itās expected to come our way between 7PM and midnight, heavy rains and wind gusts up to 60mphā¦havenāt had anything like this in a whileā¦
that same system is supposed to drop up to 25in. of snow starting today into fri. night!
