2nd White Christmas challenge Winner!

Eric December 28th, 2007

Snow

Congratulations to Leslie in Florida!  There was only 1 entry.  It was a white Christmas.  It was getting close, as 12/23 we have most of the snow melt.  Then the 12/24 morning we got around 2-3″ of snow.  Enough to cover the ground.  It was indeed a White Christmas!  Merry Christmas to all!  Congratulations again to Leslie!  I’ve sent the winner a $20 Amazon gift certificate!

Snow

Well…winter is upon us. A little earlier than past years, but it’s here. Saturday we woke up to about 1-2″ of snow. Had to get out an shovel.

Sunday woke up again to around 2-3″ of now, then most of it melted as it rained.

Yesterday we got about 3-4″, and then overnight we got another 2-3″.  I had to snowblow last night, then again this morning.

It’s been snow most of the day and we could get another 6″ or so. Then Thursday we might have more snow coming. Quite a nice time here. I’ve lived up in the area all my life, so this really is not much snow, when I’ve been through about 2′ of snow overnight. We might have a white Christmas after all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Snow

Well, today is a nice enjoyable Thanksgiving day up here. We’ve been having almost stead rain for the last 24 hours:

Now it’s changed over to snow. This is actual more “major” than earlier. It’s actually sticking to the grass. The roads still are clear. At some points during today is was snowing quite hard.

There was a Winter Weather Advisory from 4am-4pm today. We may even get more with freezing rain. Hopefully everyone is quite warm and safe inside. Enjoy the Thanksgiving.

First “major” snow.

Well, the 1st “major” snowfall has arrived. I wouldn’t really say that it was major anyways. We had a dusting, but enough that some of it stuck to things. I’ve attached an eerie picture this morning where the sun is shining through reflecting on the driveway. You can’t really see any of the snow as it melted on the driveway, but it’s still a neat picture.

Winter wonderland!

Snow

Winter has come in all it’s full glory. First yesterday we get hit with an freezing rain. This caused some missing data in my weather station as we lost power for a while. Then it was raining most of the day. The temperature dropped, so all the rain froze. Now my weather station is frozen stuck. The wind speed and direction have not changed. I’ll have to wait until the SUN hits it and can thaw it out. I spray painted it black so it’ll absorb the heat from the SUN quicker and thaw out sooner. Now overnight we also got about 3″ of snow.

Here’s a photo of the morning freezing rain. It’s hard to tell as it just looks wet, but it’s all ice.

Here’s another of the snow we got. I had to get out and snowblow the driveway this morning.

Enjoy the weather!

Snow!

So we got some snow last night. Here we got about 2-3″, not a lot, but enough that I had to shovel (see picture). That means that cold weather is here. But it might warm up this later this weekend and the snow might melt again. The sun today is even coming out from the clouds every now and then. Enjoy the snow!
