The weather

SwampDonkey · January 25, 2010, 07:06:02 PM

Going to remain mild most of the week here, a little bit of snow Thursday they think, not much. Big storm brewing in the south is going to miss here. Been very mild January in these parts as far as traditional winter is concerned.

Yesterday was warm, humid, and weird. 72 degrees with unstable air and a front moving in. 40 mph wind, and tornado warnings all over. Felt like spring. Tornado weather is scary. You can go outside and look at the moving clouds, feel the hot muggy air, and feel the premonition of a tornado.

I hate tornados

We had over 2" of rain last night and it sure doesn't look like sledding weather, lots of bare ground. :

And the wind blew, really hard, blowing the boards off my new house addition, second floor. They weren't screwed down and only a plastic layer and stickers screwed on to hold the plastic in place(they were only place temporarily). The snow which was the fastener didn't last and 95% of the boards are now on the ground. :( I took a chance and lost.

On the bright side the wind mills kept a good charge in the battery pack ;D

I took advantage of the sunshine today and changed the oil/filter in the Lombardini. Getting ready for a SYP job tomorrow.... 8)

Here in Downeast , Maine we lost our snow. We had about a foot in the woods were I was cutting firewood. 2-21/2 " along the edges of the blueberry ground and it was very mealy. Winds were 57 mph here last night with 1.5" of rain. Pretty much all bare ground now with alot of water standing in the woods. It'll be a day or two before I go in again. I just hope it freezes up pretty quick.

I hope we get more snow to covering those BB buds. I was surprised at how much snow we lost.

The kind of strong warm winds your talking about will cut the snow faster than a rain. Like a blow torch. :D

We still have about 6-8 inches of snow kinda in central Maine.No bare spots in the fields,even 45 minutes away where I work,Auburn,Lewiston area,which I was surprised to see.But the snow sure did settle back away from the trees.My dog can go anywheres he wants to now.He's no longer stranded to my tractor tracks in the woods.He can stay on top of the snow now.
Kinda cold here now,15° and the wind is just a howling out there.I went down to get the mail and decided to stay inside today.We got about an inch of snow yesterday and the wind is really blowing it around.OWB is getting a workout too.

SwampDonkey · January 29, 2010, 01:26:00 PM

We had 2 or 3" snow over night, windy. Sun's almost out now. It cooled off during the storm to 15 F. With the wind taking up the snow off the ground it looks like it's still snowing in the distance, but it's not doing anything. If you saw my sled video you would see that we don't have very much snow. What was left was a film of crust. Great for going anywhere with a sled. :D

Brew a hot cup, pop some corn, let it rain, and watch Bigfoot re-runs...... Pop_corn......

Qweaver · January 29, 2010, 04:30:39 PM

We've had the sawmill working the past two days and the 18 deg temps actually felt pretty darn good today. No mud and I actually had a little sweat going at one time today. But I'll be glad to see 70 again.

thecfarm · February 08, 2010, 08:57:55 AM

Not much snow in Jan.If that rain would of been snow,would of been like the DC,MD area.Had no really cold weather here yet.But Feb is not over yet.It might dip down in the single numbers and stay there for a week.Had really no temps above freezing either since all that rain we got.Temps are in the single numbers at times through the night,but at high noon close to 20.

The weatherman missed it in Memphis this morning. Last night it was may get a little dusting. I woke up at a quarter to four and realized a glow at the window. Looked out and there was two inches on the ground with big heavy wet flakes falling. By ten a.m. we had about five inches. Some kind of upper air warmth disappeared during the night allowing it to snow. That's their story and their sticking to it. By one p.m. mixed sleet and rain has helped in melting most of it off the roads. Pose to freeze tonight with another front moving in. We'll see.

SwampDonkey · February 08, 2010, 03:42:05 PM

.........and up here it's melting again with a stiff NW wind. Now, how the heck? :

Well, it ain't melting that fast was only 33 F. ;)

Saw Tippy again, but on the road trying to cross until I tooted.

GF · February 08, 2010, 04:28:38 PM

I forgot what the sun even looks like, the ground is saturated and we got some more snow today and possibly some coming this Thursday. I am ready for it to dry up some.

My bro just called from north of Little Rock. Said they have about 6" unexpected snow, and 4-5 more on the way.
We are waiting to see if we get the 6-12 tonight and tomorrow. Maybe IA will take it all before it gets here 8)

Warbird · February 08, 2010, 05:59:04 PM

Wow. Guess I better call the parents-in-law tonight and see how they are faring. They live outside of Ozark.

SwampDonkey · February 09, 2010, 01:25:51 PM

Almost too hot on the haul back when sledding. :D ;D It ain't hard pulling, but all up hill. That sun is warm in 36F air. :D

thecfarm · February 17, 2010, 08:03:06 AM

We missed another storm,or the area I live in did. Temps have been a little above freezing,but the wind likes to keep the temp down.Only had one day that was in the high 30's with no wind. May not get a week of cold weather,temps in the single numbers.March is right here and the 7 day forecast looks good.We can still get a ton of snow,but the cold weather should be done. I can remember a couple winters back in the late 80's like this.Would snow and than rain.Sure does seem odd,compared to last winter when we had all that snow.But seemed like it did not snow after March here.

thecfarm · February 28, 2010, 08:32:31 AM

Been snowing and raining here since Tuesday.Get 2-3 inches of snow each day than some rain to melt it away.Got alot of rain Thursday.Rivers,ponds and streams are bank full again.Do have snow from all the storms still on the ground this morning.Still have chance of a few inches each day up to Wed.Something might happen than,if we don't miss it.First of March and it's like mid April. That can change real fast.
