We've got a winter storm watch for tomorrow. 4" to 5" of snow expected to fall but most will probably melt with temperature in the high 30s. More mud .

10 degrees here and clear, up to 30 this afternoon with wind.
In the last couple of weeks we have had 2 storms of 5" and three storms of 2" and another 2-4 tomorrow night, plus several days of flurries that didn't amount to anything. About 6" on the ground now.

Well!!! Ol' man winter snuck in last night!!! A balmy -40 this morning, and we're at -7 already tonight. I'm glad we don't have any calves yet. It's supposed to be mid 30's again next week.  It's been an awful nice open winter so far, and we really need one good cold snap, to help with bugs next summer, so I'm not gonna complain!  I've got a nice warm paint booth to work in for a couple days. ffcool

Was working in the shop shaving down some sticks in the planer, then sanded them and rubbed some linseed oil on them. Hung them to dry behind the stove. Was around 80° when I left, but I bet it got to 90° because I added some wood to a bed  of coals.  And that would be a real dry heat, around 15%. So them sticks are cured I would think.  ffcheesy  Stars and moon out now. Suppose be sunny all day Wednesday. 10° here now.

7° here now, clear out, no wind. Houlton, Maine calls for up to 6" Thursday. They called for -15° to, but nowhere near that cold here, and I'm 30 miles north. Woodstock says it is -8°, must be that down on the river or something.

Snowed all day yesterday and then turned to rain. Most of the snow is gone or will be today. Dreary weather. Makes a lot of mud . At least I don't have to plow snow off the driveway.

The highway was packed snow and at these cold temps that's like ice. Saw some cars off the road and where a 4x4 pickup must have went off and got back on. One lane was semi-clean, the pass lane was iffy. People think they can drive like summer with SUV's with All Season Radials and pickups with mud and snow tires, no studs. Never fails.

6° this morning, cloudy and nary a snow flake so far. I don't think it is far off though.

14° and a very fine snow now. 
Says about 8 when the snow will be coming.
Maybe 3-6 inches, with some rain at the end. Might be a good thing on the rain, the wind is supposed to blow tomorrow. That will keep the drifts down.
Looks like another 10 days of just about single numbers in the morning.
No temps above 30.
We are still making ice!!!

Freezing rain right now. I hate that stuff! :veryangry: 28 degrees when I got up this morning, 30 now. It snowed about half an inch last night, raining now and ice is forming on the trees and everywhere.

Through the night we got about 1 1/2 inch of snow, then stopped, woke up this morning (7:00) to freezing rain and then switched back to snow for about 45 minutes, now it's very light freezing rain again!

Hard for any weather guesser to hit this one right for us. We wound up between two systems moving ENE and got a piddly little 1/4" of snow out of it last night with temps in the higher 20's. This morning it totals maybe 1/2" but warmed up a little. Now we have a very fine rain coming down. You can't see it, you can only feel it, it's so fine. It's 33 now and basically we have 1/2" of white slop. Temp is supposed to hit 40 today. Because of the warmth, I thought I would go grab a couple more trees this morning, but that rain is discouraging. So this morning I am reading and will go out with my plow this afternoon to scrape the slop off before it re-freezes. After today it's supposed to drop back down and stay well below 30 for the next week or so with maybe some more snow in the forecast.

It snowed an inch an hr for 48 hrs.  ffcheesy   It is coming down pretty good right now out of the SE. Forecast is 6-12" in the northern parts of Maine and NB. That all remains to be seen with the temps so cold @ 8°. Very sceptical on that. :wink_2:  They are saying a bigger one coming Sunday. Maybe we will have our 2 feet of snow depth in February.  ffcheesy  No above freezing temps here for days.
