  1. Just hit an inch of rain for the day, with heavier radar returns moving this way.  Flood warning for tomorrow for the Opequon.  Expecting other creeks in the area to be at bank full.

  2. Forecast for here tomorrow shows a 22° drop in 6 hours, a 32° change in 9 hours, 38° in 12 hours and a 41° fall in 15 hours, from 3 p.m. through 6 a.m. Thursday.

    Windchills drop 55° in that time.

  3. I am the farthest thing from a scientist, but I can't say that I can fully accept the suggestion that winters in our area have become so much warmer now that the likelihood of future snowy winters is past us.

    I go on LWX's site and look at temperature records for the past century, expecting to see a hockey stick-like rise recently that bears that out.  And all I see are mean winter temps within the same range they have remained all of that time.  

    Yes, the last 10 winters have been mild.  Not as mild overall as 1930-39, or 1995-2004.  But beyond the short-term cycles, what about this data leads one to subscribe to the idea that it's become too warm in our area to snow going forward?  There is a trendline dotted on the graph after all.
