I know you've been following weather for a long time but to think/follow any model 11 days out IMO is a waste of time if thinking fantasyland. Could it happen? Sure. But I would put odds on a limited event/bust. I could do better things w/my time. I'll grab interest if it's within 3-4 days of the storm but sure as hell not following for 10+ days.
I'm more w/Iceman thinking this month will pretty much suck. Yeah, maybe a little event or two and no super torch then we ease into March where I really lose interest. Again, good stuff could happen (and I hope) but I would bet against it and we'll just go ho-hum into Spring and then dreaded Summer.
Temps climbing/47F
I always thought their instinct was to start heading N due to length of day (longer). I guess temp has something to due w/it as well. Our days are getting longer but I wouldn't think "start heading N" longer quite yet.
41F/Fog
I think the geese already punted winter and headed back. A little pond near me had a flock of geese pecking at the ground this morning.
Good thing about this rain/fog is the car is receiving a decent rinse off. Thinking about watching the radar and in between heavier bands.....go outside w/a bucket of soapy water and do a quick wash then let the rain wash it off.
I have zero concern about icing and hope the township does as well so they don't lay down anymore salt/brine or whatever...
41F/Fog and the snowpack is patchy
Lol...possibly, in my younger years.
My point is if soil is 29F (and will rise overnight/tomorrow)...the (black) roads hold the heat and are warmer. Most people don't give two hoots if the grass/trees get .1" of ice. All they care about is road conditions..
^You're a worrywart. If it's not a drought it's soil temp which is barely below freezing at 29F (and will rise overnight) and I don't drive my car to/from work on the soil/grass...worry about the fog more so.
The car had a icy glaze but travel is fine around here. Maybe some leftover brine/salt from the weekend storm on the roads because I don't think they treated the roads this morning. At least I didn't see any trucks out...
Fog/28F
That was my longest power outage, 5-7+ days if I remember correctly. Heavy frz rain and temps in the low 20s, it adds up. Trees cracking, falling in the streets and the ice took weeks to melt, rock solid. That was one cold winter...some record lows.
Exactly. I may be a strange breed but I enjoy witnessing severe events and the adversity it may cause. (No electricty, internet, heat, icy/snowy roads) Your body shifts into a different gear and you adjust...
