The weather 2025

[thecfarm]

It's 30° now.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!

[SwampDonkey]

Yeah, I guess I poste don the old thread. 

30° here this morning and stars out.  See frost in the gravel and grass with the yard light on. Rain coming this afternoon here then snow squalls into Thursday. Around 36° for a high.

60° and 43% RH in the shop, no fire there since yesterday morning. Once I got the fire going for an hr this morning I threw in a square piece of spruce and let it spark and grunt over that. :D

New month, so cleaned the flu in the house. Just fine soot raining down into the pale. ;)

34 and rain.

[doc henderson]

19 degrees this am, and I have a fire going, not a flicker!  

[Magicman]

As predicted 38° here, and yes, I touched the kindling off this morning and have a nice flicker.  The forecast says that we will have a fire for the next 10 days.  Yikes !!!

[thecfarm]

32° and it looks like a snow storm now. Was about an inch of slush, but the ground is white again.
Not suppose to get much snow, but we will see.

[Jim_Rogers]

54° F in NC this morning.
Clear and sunny.

36° here now and the rain is approaching, but not here yet. Got the empty rack under the porch full of 2-1/2 cord of firewood this morning before the rain comes. Can't do that too often in January. :D

This week I came across a YouTube channel predicting a Blizzard for the East Coast then he said from January 7th to the 10th . . so I did some googling and no one else was calling for a Blizzard
Then I watched Ryan Hall YouTube channel and he said it's to early to call for a Blizzard that far in advance 
Generally the local forecast is precise for 3 days ahead of time. . . it was a Clickbait thumbnail to generate more views 

[SwampDonkey]

They don't even know 3 days out with much accuracy. :D A lot of times depends how far it has to travel, the punch will gone out of it. Reminds me of Archie and his, 'saying something without words' scene, and gives Mike the raspberry.  

[thecfarm]

The ground is just about white.
When I posted about it snowing yesterday, it did not last long, Went back to rain for the rest of the day.
34° and might get to 36 with a windy, cloudy day.
Sunny days are coming, but nothing above freezing in sight. No storms either.
Back to making ice.

[SwampDonkey]

Yeah, still around 33° and not froze, but some white stuff on the ground, maybe 1/4" and still a light rain and snow flake falling. I don't think we will get more than 1/2" when all done. But you never know. Suppose to last all day and into the night, so could be a surprise by tomorrow morning. 

[Peter Drouin]

34 and windy. I hope it freezes up have a deal with a farmer.  He's hauling woodchips for his berry plants. 6 loads yesterday. More today. Mill Road is mud. Trading for beef. He has like 40 head and sells to the public.

How is it that the weathermen have so much more technology, knowledge, and experience at there finger tips now than when I was younger, BUT, now they can't get the forecast right!

[Magicman]

They hit my weather forecast amazingly well.  

[aigheadish]

It hit a proposed long cold spell for us this morning. I'm guessing it won't get past 35 for the next few weeks and we are supposed to get the starts of maybe a foot of snow Sunday morning. We'll see how it goes. It was 60ish a few days ago. 

[beenthere]

"Weather underground" gets the weather quite right-on for me. I'm amazed that they do so well on the next ten days out.

[aigheadish]

Yup, that's what I use too. I've found their radar to be spot on more often than not when I can look at my location versus places nearby enough for me to see. 

[SwampDonkey]

From my perspective it's been a 50/50 proposition. The temperature guesses are way off, especially the overnight lows. The daily highs are not too bad of a guess most of the time. I've seen forecasted weather change 4 x within a week and they usually get it worked out the day before.  Today's constant wet snow was suppose to be just squalls. It's not adding up to much, but it's steady. Temperature is starting to fall, so I would be surprised to see more than the 1" they predicted by tomorrow. But I Just looked again at the forecast and now says heavy snow, so not even a good forecast for 24 hrs. I guess it all depends on when you catch the forecast, while your into it or 3 days before. It's a heck of a lot easier when it's happening already. :D :D Weekend shows lows near 5°F.  I bet it don't go below 12°. Shows minus weather in mid January, I wouldn't count on that either.

[GRANITEstateMP]

swamp,

When I used to watch the news, I've seen them get the weather from the day BEFORE wrong  

[SwampDonkey]

Well, the 'heavy snow' turned to light snow within an hr of that last post and we never got even an inch. I can walk in casual shoes to the shop and not cover my toes. And it's 22°, not 11°.  This 22° is suppose to be the high for the day and dropping below 20°. A little breezy out there. I'll probably push the scoop around after daylight to get that off before it packs down. 

Was 58° and 43% RH in the shop this morning. Probably 85° in there now. Yesterday I had to open the door and windows to cut some small pieces of wood and drill some holes. Even then it was still in the 70's in there. That chunk of spruce really heated things up. :D

[thecfarm]

I have 26° and no above freezing temps for the next 10 days and no storms either.
We are back to making ice.

[Peter Drouin]

29 with clear skies..

[twar]

Chilly this morning, temp in the low 20s F with blowing snow--gusts of 30+ mph. But the sun--though very low on the horizon--is shining!

[aigheadish]

We got maybe an inch of snow on the grass over night, but real light and fluffy, enough that I used the leaf blower to blow off the car this morning instead of the usual brush or scraper.
