surprise snow flurries

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Cool.. snow flurries out side now.  This is a nice surprise but not really anything to get excited over but it’s something.  It would be too warm for any real snow today anyways.  Tomorrow we get a quick shot of arctic air but it will be pretty much wasted cold again.  I love snow but just don’t see anything really happening this year with snow.

Bring on spring and severe weather!

Nice cold shot

Monday, January 21st, 2008

We are having a quick arctic cold snap right now.  It made it down to 10°F which was pretty cold but no where near the record for the day.  The record was -22 °F  here, set in 1994.  It was the coldest of the year but not close to the 2 °F my davis vantage pro2 recorded last year. I remember that winter.  Back in the Philly area we had rain and ice that winter.  Further north and west they had snow and ice.

This time in 1994 the north eastern us was in the grips of an arctic airmass that set some all time records.  Even in Philly it was one of those not too common times when when the temperature didn’t make it above 10.

I remember that being a fun winter which was cold and stormy.  I wish I had access to the internet then and all the information that is available now.  It would have made it more fun to watch.

Snow Surprise

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

I looked at the radar than looked out the window and got a nice surpise.  It’s snowing moderately and the grass is white.  It’s just starting to stick to the sidewalks but the street looks just wet.  It’s pretty heavy and fairly large snowflakes falling.  My gut feeling was it would be rain or sleet.  Maybe tonight I’ll have to go for a walk.

No snow this time.

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Pretty much like I’ve been suspecting we didn’t get any snow here.  We got rain instead.  I just didn’t see the temperature dropping fast enough for us.  Besides that the storm was to form too far north and east to really give us anything.  Maybe we’ll ahve better luck next time.

There was a time when I would really get my hopes up for a storm like this to happen but I don’t do that to myself anymore.

Sunday – Monday storm

Friday, January 11th, 2008

There is at least a potential for snow in the Susquehanna valley Sunday into  Monday.  It probably won’t accumulate to much of anything but that’s the way it’s going this year.  At least there shouldn’t be a lot of ice.
