Don't accidentally fall in the Lake. With the temps the way they are hypothermia will get you quick.

Already seeing some color on the county travel hazards map for Indiana. Allen county ( Ft. Wayne) and Hamilton county (northside of Indianapolis), are already under a travel watch. I guess some EMS managers are being proactive seeing how the snow has not even started yet.

The latest accumulation map from IND and their winter storm briefing has me (Boone county) at 8' to 12" and LAF at 6" to 8". "

Last week I got myself a late B-Day/X-mas present for myself. A new camera. I upgraded to one of the mirrorless Canon R5. I doubled my resolution by going from a 22Megapixel sensor to a 45Megapicxel sensor. The camera works great. The software to deal with the new CR3 files is giving me fits though. I must have a computer issue here that is causing all kinds of hang ups. Anywho, got to try out the neww hardware on a sunset here finally tonight. The stratus finally broke right around sunset. Some crepuscular rays as trhe holes started opening up. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... Finally a spot of blue sky! It has been weeks it seems. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... Had a little bit of deep orange. Going to have to wait a bit longer to try out the red response. Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm...

Yes, they are a bit larger than I would like but the previous occupants let them get this size. I keep them trimmed back every year but am afraid if I get much more brutal with the trimming it might kill them.

Just so weatherbo remembers what a solid event in Indiana is like. A solid 1.5" maybe 2" this morning.

So far for today at KIND the temp range for the day is 30 to 32. I thought maybe my thermometer was stuck but KIND is the same. Only a couple more hours to try and get another degree or two.

Was a rather cold evening at the overpass today. But at least there was something to shoot. Looking southwest. Taken with the 24-70mm at 47mm... Looking north northeast. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

Even though I am south of the palm guy, this is the best I could do from this afternoon. But this is cheating seeing how I just put a round of 12-12-12 on the lawn two weeks ago. Was only really feeding the roots with the phosphorus and potash but the few warm days even put the nitrogen to use and greened up the grass a bit.

Sorry to be so late, but yes. The roofs and grass are white but the roads are not. So the winter weenies probably would not call this being hit by anything. And this does happen from time to time. When the flow is just right and there is a disturbance or weakness in just the right place it can snow here and not closer to the lake.

Thanks

Forgive me but who or what is Selma?

Maybe, maybe not. In my tippy bucket, I Eurythmics my way to 0.40" of that liquid stuff. And that is fine with me. Even had some thunder and lightning this morning which is not a regular occurrence for January.

Maybe one of the observers can help me here. Under the cloud category from ASOS sites, what does VV mean? I get CLR, FEW, BKN, OVC And SCT. But VV is throwing me for a loop. I know I will look like a complete idiot when it is something obvious but sometimes I can be downright plain dense.

Time to fire up a new thread for the New Year. Thanks for all the views in 2022. And as usual will be deleting 2022 as I go along to make room for the new images. Actually, I already have been deleting 2022 to make room. First sunset of the new year that I could get to and was not a stratus fest Starting off with the yellow. Taken with the 100mm... The red starting to roll into the area. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... More of a wide angle view of the red. Taken with the 24-70mm at 47mm...

Compared to 12-23 when it was -12, 22 has to at least feel like a torch. The extra good news is that you must have broken the stratus fest to get the frost.

Daylight is increasing over a minute a day now and the sun angle at meridian is at an increasing 28 degrees after a nadir of 27 degrees. Things are looking up. This is at 40N. and maybe different at your latitude.

Unless that stuff south of you starts moving directly north, it is going to be a rather short train.

Looking at the ASOS from LOT tells me you have some erroneous data in your system.

Something is wrong in that, what I assume to be a personal station output, as it froze my computer up. Also unless there was a long power interruption, that does not make sense.

Dryer vents, chimneys, and kind of pipe through the foundation wall that is not sealed off 100%

Which state do you reside? There are a lot of Washington counties out there.

12-31 and was nice enough to break the stratus fest and give me an evening at the overpass. A sundog on the north side of the Sun. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... Nothing too special but the last image of 2022. Happy New Year everyone! Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm...
