Up to 21 here now, already 2 over the forecast high. I alluded to this last week...cold, regardless of the extent of the air mass, often seems overdone. At least for today, that's going to hold true.
The sun, blue skies and snow-covered landscape this morning makes for any amazing descriptive word that one can find. So nice to snatch winter from the jaws of Nina.
Is there a secondary front coming through today? I sort of expected a day when temps were very slow to budge, CTP had me for a forecast high of 19. It's 8:50am and I'm already up to 17.3.
I cannot remember a time previously when MDT was 11 degrees lower than my for an official low temperature. Almost as remarkable as the half foot of snow about to fall in Baton Rouge.
6:30: Light snow. Temp is 23.5. Average of 3 measurements is 6.2". About 4-5" on the driveway. For the first time in over 1,000 days...it's time to shovel!
I'm starting to wonder if my no shoveling streak is going to be extended. It can't snow much harder than it is right now but there is nothing on any paved surface. Accumulating nicely on other surfaces.
