KamuSnow Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Had a nice snow shower blow through around 12:30 - 1 pm. Just a dusting (got one last night too), but it looked great blowing around! Current temp. is 19F, been fluctuating between 22F and 18F since early this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 -3 at the cabin. Almost to -4. Occasional flurries and snow showers. Brrrr fire and scotch night. Update: just about to hit -5..... Last year hit -16. Not expecting anything near that Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I see -6 coming soon. The difference outside to inside is almost 74 degrees lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowwors2 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Lol.. You should lower you thermostat or close the damper... It'll make stepping outside more manageable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophisticated Skeptic Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 -6 here already...with gusts to 30+ I never before remember the northern part of the house being so much cooler than the southern part. (with the heat on of course) maybe 'Windchills' don't just effect the feeling on the 'skin'. A power outage now would be devastating for the area....Insta-Freeze.

Voyager Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Amazing what elevation can do. Down here I've been holding at +6 for 3 hours and the wind has died down to next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBasile Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Warmer than I thought it would be. Not that it's lovely outside or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 A little warmer here than I expected as well...8F currently, been holding there for a bit. I was just outside around 4:30 or 4:35 am (on the north facing side of the house), and getting ready to come in when the snow on the ground lit up, brighter than a full moon, and the shadows seemed to shift from left to right - it lasted about 2 or 3 seconds, and it was extraordinary - my first thought was that there must have been a meteorite in the southern sky moving from east to west. I've never seen anything light up the ground that way, except for headlights or some other man-made source. A wow moment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen anything light up the ground that way, except for headlights or some other man-made source. A wow moment.... strange, I noticed the same in the southern sky. Seemed brighter than normal all night. Maybe solar flare ongoing. temp dropped another 2 degrees in last hour. -12.6 edit: I just noticed this - (then , again if it was an aurora...it would of been in the northern sky...yet we both saw it in southern...hmmm) AURORAS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY? NOAA forecasters estimate a 50% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms on Valentine's Day. This in in response to a CME, expected to strike Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of Feb. 14th.

BBasile Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Wow. I thought I was crazy. I was at Wawa sitting in my car and I could have sworn that the whole sky lit up a blue color. This was at 4:35 AM. Must have been a meteor. Edit: Definitely wasn't the Aurora, much too short and much too bright. My first thought was a blown transformer, but being as bright as it was, I would've heard it if it was a transformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lasted a couple of seconds or so. -12.6 that's cold! Down to 7F here, a real struggle so far getting close to 0F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lasted a couple of seconds or so. -12.6 that's cold! Down to 7F here, a real struggle so far getting close to 0F. The main thing that I've seen light up a sky blue like that at night is an exploding barrel transformer up on a pole. Just one can be dramatic. Temp 6F here in the hills and has been slowly dropping but we still have some gusty NW winds going on around the area which is precluding any radiational cooling.

KamuSnow Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I was just searching for fireball meteors. Glad you found it. At least I know I'm not that crazy. It took a while to find a good site with "fresh" observations, and I asked my partner "you saw it, right?" a couple of times, lol. (She was outside with me). The site I found is American Meteor Society, the page with the pending reports is here: http://www.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/browse_reports?event=PENDING They are all pending until some sort of confirmation I suppose. There are at least 30 sightings around the same time listed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I found it was because I had saved it a couple of years ago. Didn't find much at first either by doing a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a smoker, so the first thing I do when I wake up is get the coffee started and go outside for a smoke. I got up this morning at 5:00am...

DarthDoppler Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 0.5F here. I was 6.2ish most of the evening and when I went to bed (again lol) at 1AM. Still a little breezy. EDIT: Looks like I've bottomed out at 0.3F before daytime heating kicked in, probably my low for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
