So now you see how horrible Winter is?
While this year has been a total of nothing, in a normal year, 1 to 5 inches is a Tuesday. OMG we are getting snow in, January.Accumulating snow is expected in an area that extends from northwest Texas and Oklahoma northeastward to the mid-Mississippi and Ohio valleys and southern Great Lakes. Snow totals in this corridor will be 1 to 5 inches. Localized totals of 5 to 8 inches are possible in locations that see the heaviest and most persistent snow.
Actually, I think 1 to 5 inches only qualifies as a Tuesday morning.northland10 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 8:51 pm So I see we have a "winter storm" this week. For the southern states getting it, I can understand the term storm but for my neck of the woods.

Okay, I may still be relying on west Michigan measures of snow which are, to be fair, more than Illinois. Nearly 35+ years of Michigan snow has generally fixed my metrics for what I consider considerable snow.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/202 ... r-scotlandExcited weather watchers have captured stunning images of rare “mother of pearl” clouds, which have formed high up in the atmosphere over Scotland.
Such clouds tend to develop in the extremely cold air above polar regions, but were spotted on Sunday evening and Monday morning by BBC weather watchers in Aberdeenshire, the Highlands and Moray.
Also known as nacreous or polar stratospheric clouds, the formations are some of the most beautiful to be found in the twilight sky. They gain their name from the iridescent pastel colours produced as the sunlight diffracts around the tiny ice crystals inside them.
Our local NWS forecast office is Norman, OK.Azastan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 11:32 pm My spouse is currently in Norman, OK for a 3 week class. It is bitterly cold there and it seems that there is already ice on the ground. A freezing rain storm will be rolling in tomorrow to add to the existing ice (he's thrilled to be there, I reminded him that at least he doesn't have to drive in it).
The worst part of the storm is going to hit Texas.
You know, the state which has its own extremely effective power plants?
Washington Post reminded readers that they should charge their electrical devices now, before the freezing rain takes out the power lines.
That's crazy! I have an old acquaintance up in your parts. I should ring him and see how he's doing. (Landscaper in warm months, plower in winter months).
Should be a good test of the heat pump systems we put in this summer.. Unfortunately, I won't be there if they don't hold up.. but I can watch remotely..Friday Night
Partly cloudy, with a low around -8. Blustery, with a northwest wind 22 to 24 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph.
In the last three shoveling months, we have had about a foot of snow, but never more than an inch or two at a time with a quick warm up. We are ten inches behind what we should have had, but we have plenty of rain instead, so no shortage of precipitation.
Come to Minnesota tonight. In the Twin Cities our temperatures will drop down to about -15° and the wind chill will be about -24°.
No thanks. You can cuddle up with Mike Lindell in that claw machine and keep warmMN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:56 pmCome to Minnesota tonight. In the Twin Cities our temperatures will drop down to about -15° and the wind chill will be about -24°.
