The weather 2024

[Wlmedley]

Flood warnings here this morning. Had to cut a tree out of my driveway so we could get out. Glad I had my chainsaw sharpened and ready to go although not my favorite thing to do first thing in the morning. Was wanting a biscuit from the local biscuit shop pretty bad so I persevered. Don't have to worry about high water where I live but I'd say the people living down by the main creek were sweating bullets for awhile as it was running pretty high.

Soon be stack'n wood.



And trimming trees

Temperature dropped 25 degrees in the last hour.  High winds,  sitting here with no power.  First time using the forum on my dinky little phone.  Looks really nice and easy to navigate now.

Was a steady 45° here all day. Seem like it was 45 at 8 this morning and stayed there all day.
Foggy all day too and I do mean fog!!!
Ice out on the Androscoggin River. 

[thecfarm]

Still 45° at 9pm. 
Tomorrow will be a wake up call.
Wind is going to blow. May not be able to give a report in the morning with no power.

[Old Greenhorn]

That's gonna change Ray. Between 8 and 8:30 tonight the temp dropped 15 degrees, the wind went from 8 mph average to 35 mph and 40 gusts, and we got 1/2 per hour rain. I am just taking a wild guess and thinking the front came through right about then.
 High for tomorrow is supposed to be 35 and I'm fine with that.

[SwampDonkey]

Got to 45° yesterday and windy. Last night at 2:00 am it was 40° and done raining. By 5:00 am it is snowing and 30° , 24° now and still falling. Suppose to hit the teens by 9:00 am. Snow will be done by daybreak.

[thecfarm]

Looks like about 16° here on this leap year day and the wind is blowing.
Woke me up once in the night!!! But the wind is not like that now.
Looks to be another so called storm free week. Showers, yes, but no all day events of weather.

19* here this morning, The wind blew hard during the night but not blowing hard now, we didn't get any snow either. The grandkids will be mad not to be able to go sledding, you would think that 20 something's would be over that.

[21incher]

23 a little lake snow and power still out. Looks like the whole area is out.

[SwampDonkey]

9°F here now and still falling. Still some wind, but not like it was earlier. Sun is out at least. We never got much snow, just enough for a dusting. Sure lost a lot of snow, yard is about bare except for the skiff on top.

[Jim_Rogers]

It was very windy here in eastern NC yesterday. And very mild. over 70°. Today it's supposed to be the coldest day of the week at 55°. Not much wind today.

The beast finally went out, the man ain't ready   64 yesterday, 28 at the moment and breezy with deck footings to hand dig. I believe I'll wait a bit yet!

[doc henderson]

Need to train the beast to do it for ya Don!  

[Magicman]

I broke down and lit another flicker this morning.  Low 40°'s but that should be the last one for at least another week.

[JD Guy]

53* here now but feels cooler due to westerly wind.Tomorrow 40 - 47 with 80% chance of more rain. Forecast high of 70* by Monday. Buds are all out on trees so we're probably going to get at least another hard frost or two. Hopefully doesn't affect the peach farmers.

[SwampDonkey]

Going to be cool here tomorrow again, but going up into the 40's and 50's for the weekend and into mid week next. Looks like well above freezing beyond that. But up at the woods today, not much for snow under the trees, wouldn't be 6" anywhere and less than that in some places.  Spring is 3 weeks early.

[thecfarm]

Yes, a cold windy day. Did not get above 24° today. 
Cold in the morning too.

[Old Greenhorn]

Yesterday I had to  change my pants in the morning to 'unlined' and it got warm while working. We had some wind up at height, but not too bad. Working up in the bucket at 70' Bill could really feel it and had to fight it a bit to get the drops where we wanted them. Hit something in the high 50's, and my shirts were pretty damp. Today I had to switch back to lined pants, high was only 32. We got some serious wind here last night and one of the pines on my neighbors property snapped clean off at the 40' level and made a mess in my swamp. Only had time for a quick glance, but it whacked 3 other trees, one of which was one of our few white oaks I had been clearing around and trying to release. It broke off the top of the main leader, so it will never be a viable tree now and I'll take it for mushroom logs, maybe 6 logs max. I'd rather have the tree. The other trees will be firewood and all can wait. Anyway today we got some pretty good wind here and there hitting 40MPH at some points and making that 32° seem a lot colder. So getting a full day in was good for me, but my right foot was really not happy. Gotta get the work done though, right?

 Funny, but the replies I am reading here in the last two weeks sound like the replies of 2 years ago, but those were in April, not February. I wonder if were are just in a warm cycle, like an El NONO or something, or this is a bigger sign? Are we in for a couple of wicked winters coming up in the next few years, or is this a bigger trend?

Experts have said El Nino effect. Then they have to push the other agenda along with it. But it's 4°F this morning and still a little breezy, but clear skies with moon and stars. But this is the last of the coldest for here. Looks like spring from here on out.

Was surprised at how little snow February brought this year. Never stopped raining all summer then all it did most of the winter was cloud up with no snow. Most of our snow came in January. I bet there wasn't 3" in February. No prolonged warmth compared to 1981 when we had lots of 50's and low 60's. This year we actually had creeks freeze over up here, not thick ice, but have not seen creeks freeze here very often in the last 15 years. Everything was solid in 2008 though, one of the worst winters on record for snow and cold for us.

There are lots of scientists pointing to the activities of the sun influencing winters and have shown how activities coincide with cold or mild winters. The climate models are too simplistic and have failed to predict anything. New York would be under water by now according to Al Gore. These personalities know where and when to invest since they push policies where they determine things. It's easy money, just have to have the gift of gab along with people who can't think for themselves or look into it.

I remember back in the 80's one notion all through the news was 'the lining up of the planets' was influencing the weather and causing tsunamis, earthquakes, and other global disasters. All debunked. What comes next? :D

[thecfarm]

Is this our last cold morning of the season at 8°?? 
Should get up to 35 today.
Not much for wind out there now!!! 
We did not lose power but some 10 minutes from me did.

[B.C.C. Lapp]

Was a strange Feb.  A few days ago it was 61 degrees when I went out in the morning and it was in the low twenties when i did last check on the stock about 8:30pm that night.   

[Nebraska]

Single digits a couple days ago maybe hit seventy tomorrow.  I'd like low 40's for a high and 25 to 30 for lows for a couple weeks and  ease into spring, alas  beggars can't be choosers.   

[SwampDonkey]

Local chip factory burned down last night and there is an air quality alert for this area. The place is 20 miles away, but if the wind is just right we could get a whiff of it. 

24°F here this morning, going to be 40's today. Looks like mild weather for days ahead. Might be some showers tonight.

[Jim_Rogers]

Been raining here all night, and it should stop sometime this morning.
