The latest models are starting to come together on the Saturday storm. The low will be to our south and then east through the day on Saturday, but with the moisture wrapping into our area, we could see a mix of rain and snow in the south with snow in the central and northern sections. Just how much is the big question. Until the low starts to actually form, we will be going just off of model guidance. Bu tomorrow afternoon we should have a...

One of the best things about this area is the weather. I really love the cold and the snow, but really, haven't we seen enough?! How about giving us a good 2 week stretch of warmer weather? Ok, how about 1 week? Alright, fine, 2 days! I'll take it. We will warm above normal Wednesday and Thursday. No record heat but temps into the 60s by Thursday. We will get some rain with the cold front. Good news for all of those bulbs that are spr...

Just as odd as it is to see sun showers in the summer, we are seeing sun snow showers today. You know the sight. We go from dark clouds and light snow, to full sun in about 30 seconds! No wonder every says "if you don't like the Ohio Valley weather, just wait a second and it will change!". It does make for some interesting forecasting!

Of course, not everyone is celebrating. There are still people without power to take care of around the area! For them and the rest of us, Mother Nature has given us a great day with lots of sun and mild temperatures. I was very suprised with the small amount of limbs around my yard when I woke up this morning. I guess all the debris that showered down on my house and yard the last 2 storms was enough! We saw winds just above 60mph in the...

The latest models still bring us way too much wind on Wednesday. The gusts will be near 40 in the morning with a squall line moving through around noon with thunderstorms and winds gusting to 55+. Even as the squall line departs, the low approaches with the sustained winds increasing to 35-40mph with gusts to near 55. Overall, hold onto your hats and watch out for falling and blowing debris. Always plan for the worse and hope for the best!...

The weather has finally warmed up! The problem is that when we get this warm in February, we usually see some bad weather to go along with it. Remember the Tuesday storms last year? We need to keep a very close eye on Wednesday as a strong cold front moves in. Damaging winds would be very bad news for everyone just getting their power back on. I know I have a few very large branches still up in my trees. I'd prefer they come down in a ni...

Because it is on the way out! Yesterday I hit Dog Hill with the 5 man wood rocket. It flew down the ice! My 3 year old didn't like the snow and ice that was flying off my boots as I dug them in to slow us down. We would have made it over the bridge if I hadn't hit the emergency brakes. He has now decided he likes to watch me go sown while he sits up top. Dads can be a bit crazy! Hit the sleds or head off to Paoli while you can. We will...

Yikes! As if the light snow wasn't bad enough on the icy roadways. Now we are looking at temperatures dropping into the teens with wind chills below 0 even this afternoon and evening. The models say the low 20s but Mother Nature says no way to that! The wind chill during the noon show in Jasper was -8. I wonder just how long it would take to clear out the garage? Too late now! Stay bundled up. Tomorrow morning will be another nasty one...

I don't know about everyone else, but I was a wet, sweaty mess yesterday. The back yard looks worse than the wind storm. The best news is that the power is back on! After 9 days in September, I can feel for those still waiting. Try to get as much of the outside cleaning done today because the really cold air arrives again tomorrow and Wednesday. Good news for the sledders, bad news for the power and tree crews. That cold, along with some...
