NEVERENDING ♾️ The NEVERENDING Weather Thread

3 inches of powder last night, 0 F, WC -19, bright sun, and shoveling was borderline delightful.
 
Schools started closing around 7:00 p.m. for classes today in anticipation of an ice storm we were supposed to get overnight. Temps stayed well above freezing so the ice never materialized. It's rainy and slushy out there but not particularly slick though I am watching the temps to see if it starts dropping before I have to leave the office.

We're projected to get rain over the next 4 days. The percentages kill me: 56%, 70%, 73%, 91% - what's really the difference between 70 & 73? We're just a little bit more certain.

Weather reports are also dramatized to generate more attention. The 73's and the 91's etc are to impress us with just how technical this kind of science can be.
 
We're supposed to get a couple inches of snow today. It seemed to all fall within the short window from 7:30 a.m. to about now around 8:30 a.m.

What a fun drive to work. I knew I should have stayed home to work today!
 
Kind of slippery out this morning. Well, I guess it is still January so what do you expect?
 
Snow? Slippery out? Hard pass - it's going to be mid-50s and sunny here today (and cue @DVD for his upper 70s today report...).
 
On my morning drive through the country in yesterday and today I saw the fog is no longer all over the place, but just hovering over the creeks/ponds. It looks so cool.
 
I grilled last night. I think I managed to escape the deep freeze while I was in Hawaii. Mostly 40s for the next few weeks, and by then its almost spring.
 
Different winter weather this year. Last year we were looking at 90 feet of snow (at Alta Ski) at the end of the water year. YTD we are at 24 feet at Alta. Time will add more but certainly not approaching last year.
 
29 degrees out this morning. I usually wear a windbreaker for those times when it's 32 to 49 degrees. I chose to wear the windbreaker this morning and found it to be on the weak side of adequate.
 
It's a-snowin' right now. Wasn't snowing on the drive in to work, but now it is. Big fluffy flakes.
 
An hour later and it's still snowing kind of hard.

EDIT: Five minutes later. And it's abruptly stopped snowing now.
 
I went in to a PT appointment at 9:30 and it wasn't snowing and there was no snow on the ground. I walk outside just after 10:30 and there was about an inch and a half on the ground and it was coming down hard. I would have gone home for the day instead of dealing with the roads but I had some Girl Scout cookies to deliver and I knew some of those folks wouldn't be around next week to receive them so I drove on in. Generally, it would take about 25 or 30 minutes to get from my PT place to my office at that time of day. Today it took nearly 90 minutes! :oops: The snow was coming down hard enough that in a few spots visibility was maybe 1/8th of a mile. Of course, once I got about a mile from my office the snow stopped completely. Looking at the weather for the rest of the day, it appears we're basically done with the snow for today.
 
Dusting of snow on the ground this morning. Windy and 20s. Luckily it will warm right back up tomorrow, and 60s by the weekend.
 
It's windy here. One of the neighbors has bamboo growing. Watching it in the wind reminds me of hurricane videos.
 
Over a 40 degree difference between last night and this afternoon. Went from running last night to having to put on a hoodie under my coat today. Welcome to Michigan!

Yep.

I went for a walk this morning after getting my oldest off to school and the temp was still about 55º (after hitting 71º yesterday afternoon) but the wind had started to pick up and and it was beginning to sprinkle out.

Went to go outside after eating lunch to go for another walk and had to turn around and go back in for a heavier jacket... and gloves and a knit cap. I hadn't been looking at the weather and didn't realize it had dropped down into the 20s by then. By the time I was done with my walk it was snowing and my phone said that the wind chill was making it feel like 11º outside! :cold:
 
Local TV meteorologist FB posting -

You may have noticed a lot of dirt on your vehicles this morning despite all the rain much of the Tri-State received last night. This is most likely from dust storms in the Plains & smoke particulates from the wildfires in the Texas Panhandle picked up by the strong jet stream and deposited as "dirty rain" here in the lower Ohio Valley.
