Weather Where You Are 2021

Everything that would not belong anywhere else.

As I sit in here enjoying my first vacation of 2021, I'm monitoring a weather event for this weekend that, given the amount of attention and excitement given to it by the Weather Journalistas, probably will end up being a dud. Still, it's not often that the Denver metro gets told to expect one to two feet of snow.

It's been mostly a gradual build-up, but there's a park bench outside my front door that's in grave danger of disappearing under the snow. It would have already, but for a couple of unseasonably warm days that caused the snow to slump by a few inches. After two consecutive winters of snow, melt, slush, rain, black ice, repeat, this is paradise.

Today, -20 and crisp glorious sunshine. The kind of winter day I live for. The only downside is the static shocks caused by the dry air... yesterday the kitchen sink zapped me through my jeans, right in the gentleman sausage. :o
My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

CDOT, CSP, AAA, WN, F9 all say travel this weekend is a bad idea.

My sources say we'll see anywhere from 3" to 48" of snow. My local TV of choice can't decide within the same article what the totals will be, mentioning 12" to 16" in the body of the story, but the accompanying graphics say 10."



So much journalisming. {crazy}

75 and cloudy here in Texas.

A nice shift from Snowpocalypse a few weeks ago.

There is water falling from the sky today.

Everyone retreated to their bomb shelters.

It was 61 F (16 C) yesterday. The snow is gone, which is amazing, considering this is fricking Wisconsin. Rain today and 44 F. Chance for severe thunderstorms later.

Windy. Mostly just persistently high winds at the moment, but with some storm force gusts. Wednesday evening was particularly strong.
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

It seems that the Weather Journalistas have settled on 1-2 Feet of snow for the Denver Metro area. I'm still skeptical. I think it will be far less.

Highs in the mid-40's (7 C.) and lows around 30 (-1 C.) for as far as I can see. The snow on the ground has melted away. No precipitation in the forecast. Nice Wisconsin weather.

Those of us from the less sheltered part of Morecambe Bay called that a-bit-breezy-might-need-a-light-jacket weather.

We set a record late 2020-February 2021 with 61 days of sub-zero temperatures. There was even some sea ice locally.
A million great ideas...
