Over Night Temperatures

[Larisa]

This night we have a Christmas frosts . It does not change. Christmas, Epiphany, flowering oak - always cold. However -29°F too steep even for us. These photos I made in the park the day before frost. Frost will not leave before Tuesday. I hope the ducks do not die.

Right before a snow the supermarkets are swarmed with people stocking up. But here every family has a 4 or all wheel drive, so everybody is out driving right after storm any way.

@Larisa , worrying about what we call Mallards .

They are are right across the Northern Hemisphere. It looks like that they better get out of that water, tho! Let's all hope that being on the land will be safe for them.

After another round of overnights in the single digitS', we are supposed to have warming with a loss of our blue, daytime sky as snow clouds move in this afternoon ..!

A chance of rain!? This could actually be a disaster since there is already nearly a foot of snow on the ground and that ground has been frozen since November!

The weather station at my closest location is saying 33°f for an hour or two tomorrow. My guess is that if some of what falls from those clouds after 12 hours of snowflakes becomes rain, it will mostly vanish in the snow. Here's keeping my fingers crossed.

who could probably benefit from a run to the store for some oolong and who is glad he really doesn't need to go anywhere for the next 3days

went out at noon for another girls rump in the snow... they love the fresh snow to run it...
if you look at the little bridge we received just about 6"...

the veggies are sleeping under a blanket of snow going to leave there for the next couple days.

made a couple passes up and down the driveway so the ladies can get out if they like..

Let me know if you need some shoveling tips.

well this morning was 12* with a wind chill of -2* brrrr even the dogs made quick trips out to the dog yard... tonight they are calling for 1*. with a chill of -11* watched the morning news and most of the school districts have posted closure for monday due to black ice...<bet they close tuesday as well.>

everywhere i drove on the driveway was a sheet of ice over this morning... it's 28* now so the ice is slowly melting

Snow melts at 28° in North Carolina? Must be that the snow coming from Texas is warm-hearted ...

You want to see something intimidating, take a look at this radar:

-14 this morning. I've put on the two pair of wool socks for the early morning chicken chores. This winter has been weird. Frigid now, but forecasting 41 for mid-week. I'll take it! (even though rain this time of year is disappointing).

steve have been keeping an eye on the pacific weather mainly the tahoe/carson city areas shame that they had all that rain which has turned into snow now.
thats the last thing cali needs is flooding....

anywhere that has been uncovered the radiant heat from the sun melts the snow/ice, of course once the sun goes down it freezes again.
got up this morning looked out at the driveway it's a sheet of ice, the chance of getting out is very slim.....till later on today

dw is not going to work today the bus system posted that they will not start running till 9am and will only be stopping at depots, the depot is 5 blocks from the federal building, and you know that the sidewalks are a sheet of ice..
it's 2* now with a high of 28* now on Thursday the high will be 63*
