A chilly 38°'s this morning but warming into the low 60°'s. Next week, is forecast for the low 20°'s and maybe a touch of (white) moisture.

Frost on my windshield the morning, but I'm not going anywhere.

Mostly sunny in low 30's with 20mph wind and stronger gusts.

SwampDonkey · January 03, 2025, 12:54:00 PM

Been snow in the air here all day long, not adding up to anything. Only forecast to be cloudy.

Old Greenhorn · January 03, 2025, 01:42:41 PM

We had similar all day yesterday, snowed all day but barely made it to the ground and none of it stuck. Still have some of that goin on today. 32° now.

Finally!!! We're getting some snow in NWMT!! There's about 10" on the flats and they say a few more coming tonight. It's 31 and slick as snot when we fed cows tonight! I wasn't sure I'd get to even put the snow blower ON this year! We're a couple inches ahead in the moisture department, just no snow yet.

Quote from: beenthere on January 02, 2025, 12:47:54 PM"Weather underground" gets the weather quite right-on for me. I'm amazed that they do so well on the next ten days out.

I also rely on Weather Underground and find them amazingly accurate.

I'm surprised, Montana is usually colder than here. Well winter is only a couple weeks old. We have had some mild days, but we've had some cold ones to, colder than all last winter in fact. By the 15th, looks like -20 weather if you can trust the guessers, I don't put much stock in guessing that far out, but that is a normal mid winter temp if it happens. Haven't seen that cold since 2008 and we had a lot more snow at this time back then, which was normal. But I have seen mild winters over 40 years ago. In 1980 we had no snow at all and the locusts leaved out in February. I've never seen that kind of mild since. But they only like to talk about stuff within the last 20 years and never mention the bitter cold and snow of winter 2007-2008. Gotta cherry pick the numbers you know.

Down around 12°F this morning, but they forecast 4° for here. I would imagine in low places it's colder than here. I think it will go down that cold tonight, it's been there already this winter.

Shop was 56° and 35% RH this morning. No wood in the stove all afternoon or night yesterday. But a dry 56° feels a lot different than a high humidity 56°. In fact I could work just fine in the shop with a dry 56° and not be cold at all.

19 with clear skies. I Had to sand the driveway a lot of ice.

SwampDonkey · January 04, 2025, 01:20:14 PM

Temperature hasn't moved here all day. Breezy and snow squalls. Had the window in the bedroom open this afternoon for a couple hours. They said partly sunny today, been no sun here all day long.

thecfarm · January 04, 2025, 05:16:39 PM

It's 14 out there now.
I was out cutting some wood this afternoon.
Plug the tractor in for a couple hours and that started like the 4th of July.
Put my chaps in the back door of the OWB so those are nice and warm and filled up the bar and chain oil on the saw with oil that is warm from the front door of the OWB.

SwampDonkey · January 04, 2025, 06:15:00 PM

It's 7:00 pm up here now and it's still 12° like this morning. And still snow squalls as I look out the window with the yard light on. Weather app says it's 6°, their thermometer must be down on a beaver pond. :D

Ianab · January 04, 2025, 06:38:30 PM

Lunchtime, and it's 12C and overcast here. Probably sounds quite pleasant, except it's the middle of Summer, and there is fresh snow up on the Mountain this morning. That's about 10 miles from home, so not feeling the Summer vibe...

doc henderson · January 04, 2025, 06:42:38 PM

icy all day, 6 to 9 inches of snow tonight. Hospital has made 20 rooms available for staff to stay if needed.

SwampDonkey · January 05, 2025, 05:16:58 AM

5° this morning, and clear for a change. Not cold in here.

59° and 31% RH in the shop this morning.

Magicman · January 05, 2025, 07:05:04 AM

Our forecast is 72° today and 29° tomorrow morning. Yikes, too much difference in too little time which means that we are in for some severe weather this evening around 7:00.

Forecast 22° Wednesday morning !!

Peter Drouin · January 05, 2025, 07:24:40 AM

17 and cloudy

Be safe traveling Doc! I saw that some areas there are going to get 20". Whew, that's a real snow no doubt.

thecfarm · January 05, 2025, 07:42:59 AM

I have 14° with a high of 18 but the sun is out.
Still no storms in sight.

SwampDonkey · January 05, 2025, 09:06:46 AM

Well by daylight the clouds moved in and we are getting more of those snow squalls again today. No sun here unless it changes after dinner. The high today is suppose to be around 12°. It's 6° now at 10:00 am.

Light snow or squalls for us Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Been doing that for 4 or 5 days already.

Of well, don't need sun to make sawdust in the shop.

doc henderson · January 05, 2025, 09:12:28 AM

well, ice then ice balls (sleet) and about an inch of snow. Will see what today brings, but this is manageable. some power outages in nearby towns.

Downstream · January 05, 2025, 10:26:30 AM

We are supposed to get a fairly rare 8-12 inch snow today. Unfortunately when I got up it had barely dusted us so far so hopefully it is just a little delayed. May sound weird to some but a like to get a couple of good snows storms a winter to fully enjoy the 4 seasons. 2-3 storms is fine in Jan and Feb then Im good for spring to be here. This will be the first storm since I retired so was hoping to just sit back and enjoy with absolutely nothing to do but watch the Packer game and then Illinois basketball later.

We have continued to move south from Ill/Wi border to southern illinois over the years so I do miss getting a periodic BIG snow to have some fun in. Nothing better than a drive/walk around the country after a big snow. Little traffic or sound just nature.

hardtailjohn · January 05, 2025, 11:38:24 AM

Swampdonkey, it's been a nice, open winter here. We had no snow before last week. I was working in the meadow with the excavator until just the other day. Seems we get one of these every 10 or so years. I'll take it! Last year on the 13th of January, we saw -62 on the thermometer..... don't need that again!
It was 31 at midnight and 29 and snowing again when I got up at 6.
