Might be here, lol. Was 23.9 for a low, currently 49.6 at 1:20 pm. What we HAVE succeeded in is another 'windy' day, already had a 26 WSW wind at 12:13 pm. Currently W at 11 gusting 19 mph. Amazing that the forecast at 7 am said nothing about winds until late afternoon when they 'may increase to 7-12 mph', fail. I still say we could have a 1050 high right overhead and still manage a 25-30 mph wind gust somehow.

Careful, I mentioned something along this line yesterday and we got 2 pages doom and gloom!

Currently 25.6/16.7 after a 23.9 low. Supposed to be near 50 with light winds today, looks like a good day to take Christmas down outside.

Oh, I'm NOT 'doom and gloom', more irritated at following 10-30 day outlooks when I should know better. Yes, the 'uppers' have looked great most of the winter (well, except for that Christmas week, which it did a great job of picking up) and then the closer we get to those 'good looks'.....

The problem I have is, there's ALWAYS lots of chances, then slowly as we close in on the dates..... *poof*. This is true with 90% of all the models. I'd rather they show nothing and then hone in on an idea 5-7 days out, a LOT less exhausting. Maybe I (we) need to just watch the first 1/4-1/2 of the model runs and go from there.

Maybe that restart thing will work...... this time?

We ALWAYS have wind. We could have a 1050 high right overtop of us and we'd have 20 mph winds.

Two separate 5 minute squalls came thru here today, one at noon, other around 2:30 pm. Both coated everything then done, but pretty as it fell. Currently 30.3/14.5 at 5 pm with W 12 gusting 22 winds. That is one thing we haven't missed on, gusts between 30-40 mph all day.

Well got 3 flakes from that first line, lol. A bigger (and snow squall warned) line headed this way, let us see if it makes it. Currently 36.8/25.0 and cloudy. 0.89" of rain from yesterday's event, much needed.

It has soared to 50.2/49.6 at 11:45 am with rain and fog. Eyeballing the gauge looks like another .25-.33 has fallen. Time to refire the woodstove, it got a break with the mid 50's temps last few days, but that will be long gone by this time tomorrow.

Well I certainly like the trends this run. Steps in the right direction.

0.13" at 7 am CoCoRaHS report time and 49.3/49.0 with light rain and fog. Hoping for a lot more! Maybe another 3-4 hundredths since.

Yep.

At 7 am it was 43.5/39.3 after hitting 37.6 around 2 am. Amazing the number of times that has happened since Christmas.

Well, we have half the championship game, Miami beat 'Ol Miss 31-27. ACC shows up.
