Ready 2 cicada

You must have some "Arnold" type cicadas there in Erie.

WooHoo! The dewpoint is above freezing here at KIND. Been awhile since I have seen that.

I almost ate shit about five times so far today

First sunset of the year. It warmed up to a whole whopping 20 degrees so it was time to get back at shooting evening colors.

Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm...

Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm and cropped in camera...

Did we make it to 1041mb at KIND today. Looks like it in the five minute data. We were at 1040.9 and then it ticked up one more hundredth in between the hour.

Amazing that you can get drifts with just two inches of snow, but you can.

Snow depth here on the east side of the house in the Sun.

On the west side of the house in the shade. The blue skies make the snow turn real blue in the shade.

We got slammed here in Buffalo 70-85” the last week, hardest hit were areas just south of Buffalo 

Darn, and at an elevation of only 732ft.. You are giving some of those Alp and Japanese ski resorts a run for their money with the vertically piled snow next to the roadways.

Yesterdays high of 13 was the warmest since the 12th. Got down to 1F last night. Full sun today feels great but still will only make it to around 10-12. 10 days ago there was pockets of open water on the lake. Now the ice is 9-12” thick. 

Which lake would that be? With 10,000 to choose from, it makes a daunting task.

Sensor issue at KIND?  Wind 5 gusting to 22 for several five minute increments.

Time to fire up a new thread for the New Year. Thanks for all the views in 2023. And as usual will be deleting 2023 as I go along to make room for the new images.

Starting off the new year with a sunrise.  Can not tell but it was -6F when these were imaged. I must be a little messed up in the head to be out and taking these. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Yours is so much better than mine. But then I just threw up the camera in the driveway as I was clearing it of the skim of snow.

Even this far south, KIND currently at -4F. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. wind chill of -28, nice,not!

Cool looking sky.

Went out long enough to collect eggs, measure, and snap a couple pics.  It's been snowing like hell for about 24 hours... another 3-5 possible before the flow backs more unfavorably.  

Estimating a little over 2' has fallen with a snow depth approaching 30 inches.

 

 

 

That hurts just looking at. How long have/did you have blizzard conditions?

Do the birds call this weather fit for only the humans?

Expecting a 3-day total here in the 2 to 3 feet range.  Been down this road more than once living up this way.  Probably won't be able to get out to CR 510 for a couple days.

When the chickens start staring at you and asking for the barbeque sauce, let us know.

Is Alek's one at home and four at ORD going to verify?

Believe 981.9mb at KIND will be a new minimum MSLP record for January, breaking 1978's record of 984.4

Yep. At least IND got a consolation prize.

Yep, the barometer is way off to the left. Thanks for reminding me to reset the bug.

Rain    0.96" so far, damp

Since Jan 5 around noon, the temperature range has been a whole whopping 4 degrees. Stuck under the winter inversion for the L. 

This is for all the winter weenies that this site attracts. After a tiny 1.5" paste job this morning...

Yes, I am slant sticking. It is hard to hold on to a shutter release, a black background and a tape measure with just two hands.  Looks like close to or a tick above 1.5" here this morning.

Boo-Hiss it is temporarily white outside right now.
