The weather 2024

[Old Greenhorn]

We are back into a cooler cycle, 30° this morning, high yesterday was about 42 and the guessers have been pretty dang close on the highs and low so far this week. BUT they have blown the wind forecast. Yesterday wind was supposed to bein the 5-10mph range, but came in at 20 mph with gusts up to 25. Today they are saying 10MPH or less, but we have been into 15-20mph all morning. That changes my day in the woods and I have to walk past some trees because of the wind, plus it's got a lot colder feel to it. I think I will work on the trailer for a bit, then see if the wind calms and head back to the woods early afternoon.

  We went to bed last night and noticed the whole landscape was white. Got up this morning to half an inch of mostly sleet and a little snow on top. The whole mountainside was white. By noon it had all melted and everything is green again with the Forsythia blooming yellow in the front yard..

Same here yesterday, it stopped the light snow my noonish here and by 4:00 pm it was brown again. Too early here for any greening up, plants aren't stupid up here. :D

Been watching for pussy willows, nothing yet. It's still a month early.

26°F here this morning and the moon is just setting. Suppose to warm to upper 30's°F and start the rain/snow mix again into tomorrow. Yippee!!

I went out last night to cut some wood and had to dress like it was winter. 
26° now and tomorrow when I get up the ground will be white.

Thanks to Lake Superior, gusty NW winds, and a below zero wind chill, spring has went into hibernation and winter has returned.  

[SwampDonkey]

I'd think more like Hudson's Bay arctic blast.

34°F here now. The snow/rain starts late this afternoon into Thursday. Never know, might actually be some accumulation. But not really convinced of it. :D

couple inches snow on the ground and lake effects all day blowing snow and squalls. The sun sure is warm when it comes out. 
The best thing about all this cold weather is it only lasts for a day or two and then its Spring

It was so warm in Virginia that I shut down the OWB.  Fired it up again for the last few days.  Today I had a huge gust of wind come roaring down the valley.  You could hear it coming and stuff started flying horizontally.  I immediately closed the doors on my metal garage and started to go inside when I heard a tree snap.

I turned and looked at it was in my log yard.  It was rotted inside but outside it looked ok.  Fell right across my main path through the logs.  Yippee! More firewood!

[SwampDonkey]

Rain/snow mix started kicking it up this afternoon. Suppose to last all day tomorrow and half the night. More coming Saturday. 36°F here now.

This weekend look to be in for quite a splash 

[thecfarm]

24° and 3 inches of snow. Mostly dry snow too. Stayed below freezing and looks to be that way for a couple days too. At least until Sunday. 
Looks to be 8-12 inches of the white stuff coming on Saturday.
One year we just about got all of our snow in March. It snowed almost a foot 3-4 times in March. 

[SwampDonkey]

Wet snow and 34°F for today. It's white out there on the ground, but just a skiff.

Yesterday I saw the first bear tracks in the corn stubble. It walked out the day before when the snow was wet. Not much snow, maybe 3" in that spot on the field edge. Surprised that there were not ponds of water on the surface. None. But the field would definitely be mucky if it were thawed.

[thecfarm]

I know there are bear on my land. My grandson shot one. But I have never seen one. I betcha they saw me. 
I forgot the wind. The wind is strong out there. Snow is a little heavy, so may not blow around much.
My winter gear is back on for a few days.

[SwampDonkey]

Right now the eye of the storm is overhead and some patches of blue and sun. But the radar shows the back end of the storm coming through later today for some more squalls for awhile. Ground never froze and that little skiff is melting in the sun. Still 34°F.

Cold here this morning. The 1/2 full glass jug of sap I left on the porch froze completely last night. No sap in the smoothie this morning. Winter is back for a few days for sure.

All white = no ticks for a spell at least . A few inches of fresh snow,
 Wind and whiteouts at times overnight.

Bluebirds, blackbirds and robins are scratching their heads.

Curiouser and curiouser. It fir sure is back to cold again. Low in the 20's the last two nights, had a band of snow coming through last evening and the whole lawn turned white, another band in the dark hours this morning. No big deal, it's still March and winter. But this wind is killing me and keeping me out of the woods. 20-35mph pretty steady. It's ok if you can cover up exposed skin, but your face still takes a beating. The other issue ids falling debris and dropping trees with that kind of wind. 3 days now I am waiting and I am headed into the woodlot against my judgement because I have to make orders. I'll decide what 'thing' I am going to do when I get there, I have 3 options that are all productive and all need to get done.
 Cold is fine, but I wish somebody would shut off the dang fan.

[SwampDonkey]

Have not had much wind, snow coming straight down. Wet snow. Sun half out to. But never got any warmer than 34°F so far, has dropped back to 30°F now. I think the wind is coming tonight up this way, clearing and cold down in the teens. Warm back up about Tuesday 30's and 40's.

Today was a cold day and I do mean cold. I kept the car running all morning. Did get up to 28, but wind was really bad and I do mean bad. I even had a stocking hat on going to the garages today!!!
I had about 3 inches of snow on my truck. I got to work, no more then 9 miles away and they had at least 5 inches.
I cleaned off the steps for the dog and no way I had 5 inches here. I just have a kids plastic shovel to clear the steps and it took me only a few minutes to do it.
More coming Saturday.

Cold today if you were in the wind for sure, sweating if you were in a sheltered area. Some snow last night. it didn't melt, but it evaporated. I didn't want to cut today, but I am behind so against my better judgement I headed out. I cut just 3 simple trees and felled them in the direction of lean, easy right? Nope, I had to wedge all 3 because the wind was holding them up, so I had to drive them over into the wind. The last one got taken as it fell and the wind brought it about 30° off the fall line, but no big deal at all. Wind was 20-35mph all day. I bagged it and came home and split wood.
 High today was 33 and low was 24. Tomorrow looks nicer with and overnight low of 18 forecast. The cold is great, the wind is NOT. 
 It reminded me of the joke of the Kansas chicken farmer. In a windstorm he watched one of his hens, with the wind at her back, lay the same egg 4 times. Then she turned around and laid 4 eggs at once.

16°F this morning and we started with the wind not long after my last post. It was like no wind, then boom, it arrived. Had some snow, but not more than an inch. It did drift across the drive way, maybe 4" deep. Wind and blowing snow kept the motion sensor light on at the garage most of the night. 

Looks like snow tomorrow. First day of spring, is more like first day of winter, if you ask me. Just as cold as February and the wind to make it more convincing.

You got that right!!
I have 16° and some wind. Might just get up to 32 today. But with that little bit of wind, it will feel colder.
Will have to wait until Wed. for temps above freezing day and night.
Seem like the last few years we always have a warm up and it stays warm. 
This year is not that way.

[woodroe]

Brrrrrr. 15* earlier and wind 30 ish at times. Sun is bright though 

Latest storm prediction is 7-13" snow Sat/Sun. Was tempted to put away
the snowblower but didn't. We've had some 2 footers in April years past.
