Interesting tidbit:

In the last 30 years, it has rained 15 out of 30 times on this day.

A bit more rain out there than I expected —

Something I read today:

A study in the British medical journal The Lancet reached the following conclusion:

Cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather, according to an international study analyzing over 74 million deaths in 384 locations across 13 countries.

What is this blasphemy of Canadian Air you speak of? On a more serious note, this is looking more likely and it’s not at that ever-present “two more weeks” marker in the future. The fact that we are getting to a week out is concerning. The key will be to see if that cold dome builds in Western Canad...

Temp held at 38 with the clouds. No freeze this week - such a blessing. Now, onto Spring!

Down to 38F. Dew point holding at 25F. I still see starts up in the sky, too. I will sleep much better knowing everything is covered.

Already down to 40f here with a dew point of 25. Side note: I’ve seen about three different headlines today proclaiming how Chicago/Midwest is colder than Antarctica. Do these “journalists” not realize it’s summer in the Southern Hemisphere? Silly me. Judging by the quality and accuracy of most scie...

This is from John Dawson: There's always that one guy who insists they love the cold. https://twitter.com/johndawsonfox26/status/1090084415693148160?s=21 That’s me on a 15-20 degree day! LOL :) that’s me in Colorado for a ski trip. My dewpoint is down to 21. That’s pretty low. Will throw the covers...

Forecast low was knocked back down to 35F. Will be watching the trends today very carefully. Will probably cover the plants just to be safe...there is also frost to worry about. Edit - just stepped outside to grab lunch. It is cold out there, especially with the wind. I hope this is the last really ...

Dropped to 35 here as well with a dew point of 23. My forecast low for tonight was raised to 36, but I may opt to cover the plants tonight just in case there aren’t any surprises. Any time the dew point gets that low, you have to be careful.

NWS has me at 34 tonight and 33 tomorrow night. Wxunderground App shows 34 both nights.

Looks like the rain will hold off until after practice...

72f outside right now. Not bad for January - I’ll take it!

Reading the afternoon AFD (it came early), we may not even get a freeze from this week’s front. Wouldn’t that be something considering what they have up north?

Thank you!!

What’s the exact timing on the rain this evening? Our first baseball practice of the season is scheduled for 7:30. Trying to figure out if we need to reschedule...

This morning’s email from Jeff was like a belated Christmas Present: - glancing blow this week, cirrus deck protects us from a hard freeze - followed by an extended warming period - blocking pattern becomes more zonal - even after this weekend’s system, dew points stay in the 60’s and even next week...

Today was one fantastic day. It felt great in the sun. I got so much done outside - cleaned the gutters and even washed the windows all along the back and sides of the house.

That was interesting. I got a really nice rain here tonight with that line that pushed through. I think as recently as this morning it was basically 0% with no mention of rain.

Had a great run today - perfect weather for it. Lots of people at the park on the playground, jogging/walking and playing basketball.

The vast majority of folks are enjoying this mild weather instead of the freezer.
