61⁰ under clear skies, what a forecast bust it seems

I have no use or need for some sleet/frz drizzle or 33 degree rain....I prefer those 70s up here, mid 60s would be just fine as well. Icon is the only one bringing those warm temps into the SW portions of SNE, so it probably is wrong. GFS is 30-34 here around the same time period. Not even close for 100 hrs out

Which was made worse when the group promoting the "fake news" concept promoted their spokesperson to President. They already had their alternative media in place for that group of many people to flock to when they needed someplace else to go. Amazing how much money was made in the past 7 years on the idea of "Fake News". Slowly the Alex Jones of the conspiracy theory world are starting to be exposed for who they really are, fake news and lies for profit. Most of the media out there has some level of bias, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see through that. Hopefully we can get back to a world where facts can be facts again and not labeled "fake news" because some guy on YouTube said so(especially when they made a bunch of money because it was shared and clicked on so many times). Frustrating times for scientists around the world.....

Thanks...Its gonna be a rough couple months, hard to watch the kids go through it on top of it. Way too young, not even 7 years old yet.

Oh I hope so...We just got some bad news about our dog, she loves snow and could use one good snow before the inevitable.

Started the sameway this morning, definitely didn't end up the sameway though...If it weren't for clouds most of the day, we would have soared into the 70s, currently 68.5 here

yup, 30.9 here....still only 31.8 at the moment. Front yard is crunchy with low 50s all around me

Woodstove ftw...warm winter though, I have used less than 1/2 a tank and only 2.5 cords of wood so far

My guy has $3.65 cash price, I haven't purchased since October though...

62⁰ out there right now, but those winds are roaring, got to be pushing 30 mph at times. Just found some daffodils popping up... saw a boat load of geese flying north this morning too. Really high up there, not the ones moving from pond to pond.

Just had what looked like half a dozen fighter jets fly over here...tracking more weather balloons I suppose? Pretty far up there, but so loud

Clouds beginning to thin here, sun should be out within the hour. 34 here at the moment, but 40-45 elsewhere. Should be 60-65 today assuming clouds don't build back in later

It's nice to see the increasing heights continue to push into Greenland from the north and east in the 12-16 day time frame in the EPS/GEFS and sort of GEPS. Definitely squashes the SER a bit more at least. Still haven't broken the 4 inch mark yet, something needs to happen soon.

Yesterday was beautiful, 56⁰, mostly sunny, light winds. Couldn't ask for anything more for February 13th, besides snow of course....

Wasps came out today....spotted a few flying around, didn't take them long.

I just checked, ours is coming up too. If there looks to be another artic outbreak without snow cover, then I will just cover them up with leaves. The concern is over the next couple weeks it will start really growing, then get really cold for a bit. Could damage the plant or stunt their growth.

So you are saying enjoy it while we can? Looks pretty cold just north of us, if the GEFS have the correct idea.

This morning confirms just what kind of pit I live in....I couldn't believe the weather station when I saw it...So I took another thermometer down to compare. Along with the ice on the ground and the swing set. Everyone else, 40s and 50s, 32⁰ here, it was actually 30.7⁰ when I got up. I am sure the wood was cooling the thermometer a bit, it is still close. Our deck was 34.5⁰

Actually a sleet/snow mix here in the valley, coating on the deck....32.7⁰/27⁰

I just want to use my shovel at least once this year.....

and somehow the GFS will be right....Despite the massive positive anomalies for January, it never really felt "warm". Maybe so much cloud cover? A torch at this point would be very much welcomed, with some sun hopefully

Yeah, lack of snow in the future, didn't pay attention to the forecast....15⁰/10⁰ here, at this point just expected 40s/20s this week.

Yup, t-shirts and shorts in this house....trying to get the humidity up has been a battle though

Made it down to -7.1⁰...I hit -13⁰ in Newtown back in 2016, so not as bad here. Up to 5.2⁰ now....

Was hanging around 7⁰ for 1 hour or so. ..just had a house shaking gust, looked outside and it is actually snowing.. temp down to 4.0⁰ in less than 15 minutes
