LTG Weather Report

An amazing New Year's Day along the bay front today. No wind, about 45 degrees, and a classic fog bank hanging across the southern horizon.

I have pics from last New Year's Day with an eerily similar fog bank in the same location.

Lovely day to be out and about....but most are. :eagerness:

Beautiful photo of that scene, Joe. With 40 degrees below zero and a slight breeze out of the north this morning, there's an elevated sense of appreciation in me, for days like you're fortunate enough to be experiencing today.

I'm not sure how one could photograph 40 below and be able to convey the effect, but I'm not even willing to take my camera out in that temp.

North Texas. 60s yesterday, teens this morning. Crazy.

 

[griehund]

Today high of 15 low of 4. Tomorrow high of 11 low of -10. 5 to 10 inches of snow coming over night. All schools closed. Time to crank up the stove and hunker down.

 

[Bing k]

14 inches of snow

 

[Bill Ashton]

35 miles north of Cliff, 9 degs, snow coming down at a good clip but no blizzard yet, maybe 2 inches or a little more on the ground. City plows are out.

Sparrows, Finches, Juncos, couple Nuthatches, pair of Cardinals and Mourning doves at the feeders...

Just spoke with twocorgis....all is prepared for in Kings Park. Cliff, Bill, Bing, and all LTGers affected by the snow storms, stay safe and do all the things you know to do during the current/upcoming bad winter weather. Brrrr....I can't even imagine below zero temps anymore....been in Texas too long and the blood is too thin now.

Bill,

Blizzard warnings in MA are fortunately limited to coastal areas, so it shouldn't be quite so bad for us inlanders. Either way, great weather to just hang out inside with the guitars!

No better place in the US right now than south Florida!

 

[Bikerdoc]

It ain't Minnesota but it ain't Florida either!! Brrrrrrrrrr

Last night the Chief Meteorologist for one of our local news stations brought us to the weather report for parts of Northern Florida which showed a wind chill advisor/warning of 30 degrees.

His comment to that was: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" he just thought it was kind of funny. Understandable, I suppose, when he reports WC warnings of -50 to -60.

Warmed way up to -4 ambient this morning, but it's blowin' and snowin'. :smile-new:

8 degrees, 5" of snow, no biggie. Going out to blow the driveway. Hot tub was 102. :happy:

I agree, for us in "western MA" this storm was just business as usual...I was out scraping (nothing else to do?) last night around 9, light snow, kinda pleasant actually, even though it was 5 degs...no wind... just under 0 early this morning but 16 now and having worked up a sweat shoveling and sno-blowing, I am hot!

First order of business was to scrape away an area for the juncos and then lay some seed down...they seem to have told their friends...the sparrows, finches, both hairy and downy woodpeckers (must be the new suet), titmice, and Mr. Cardinal...nuthatches seem to be missing...too early in the morning for them? LOL

My wife was out on her snowshoes the other evening and snapped this shot with her I-phone.

Usually we like to think of it as just another winter here in Minnesota but, sometimes it gets your attention....

Shaping up to be another one THOSE seasons....

And where pray tell is Mrs. Cardinal? She can't be too far away. :happy:
