You sure that's not an optical anomaly?

No, not sure of anything but never seen it before. The moon eventually sits.

Our high temperature yesterday, JAN 18, was 81.1F and the low 51.1 F  The average temperature so far this winter is 68.3 F.

I wonder how many places in North America have a high temperature above 80 F on JAN 18?

Might hit 32 tonight. Been a normal January so far but no freezing temps.
That's OK with me. :-)

First snow that fell late yesterday basically melted on contact due to the worm ground.  Once the winds picked up and the temperature dropped enough it started to stick, but was sort of slushy.  Overnight we got maybe two inches on cold surfaces, but the driveway stayed a sort of wet snow/slush mix.  Then it all froze.  About 8AM this morning, it was a solid sheet of ice maybe a 1/4" thick.  By Noon, with mostly cloudy skies and a few peaks of broken Sun, it had all melted to just a wet driveway even though it was only 22 degrees.  Weird what happens with blacktop on warm ground with a slight bit of sunshine.

I reported 3.17 inches of rain for the past 24 hours this morning on CoCoRaHS.  Not a lot for some of the hurricane states, but a lot of rain for here.  And it's been very wet  for the past few months.  It's adding up.

Map shows strong temperature change from cold front passing through central Oklahoma on Tuesday afternoon.  For now there is a winter weather advisory for the possibility of light icing.

Rivers almost made it to flood stage a week or so ago, then fell off about 10-15 feet.  Now back on the rise and expected to reach the same near flood stage levels by next week.

It takes a (word I can't use here) of water to cause a wide river to rise 10-15 feet over several square miles of land.

It looks like we have a frigid week ahead, but that’s no surprise, as the last two weeks of January are the coldest on average in Minnesota.  The temperature here one morning last week dipped briefly to 30 below, but until now the subzero cold lasted only for a day or two at a time.  Forecasters say this current arctic cold wave will likely persist in the Upper Midwest into February.

I would say so  :-(.  And no chance for you to miss the coldest air. Down here we are going to get a few glancing blows is all.

Yeah, y'all can keep that.

Meanwhile, the river is up another foot and a half since midnight.

hope I'm not intruding but its winter here and whilst we get summer tornadoes all over turkey on a rather small scale compared to the US tornado season reports but today middle of winter this monster tore up a district here in turkey ..the tv reports and videos are far more revealing about the aftermath 1 fatality and numerous injured and destruction of anything in its path .but totally unseasonal and totally beyond any scale I've seen reported here in the past ..

the photo its NOT fire or smoke ..that was the scale of it ..a changing climate or a one off ..?

Our weatherman was talking about the Polar Vortex coming next week, with the coldest temperatures since the 1980s for the upper midwest.

Brrrrr!

Buzz words.


Don't need 'em.


We have some colder weather coming, but nothing overly dramatic.  CPC say 'below normal', but it only appears to be a few degrees (so far).  And it only appears to be short term, maybe a few days (so far).

I know that a tornado can possibly hit anywhere in the world, but I don't associate Turkey with them.  We've had a tornado in November a few years ago and it was deadly.  Mother Nature sure has her moods!

good morning

im not aware of a F scale used here as most are sea based thin tornadoes water sprout that dissipate rapidly as they hit the shore lines , i see many develop from home some 15-20km out at sea that just dissipate rapidly as they approach the shore line. these frequently happen during warmer months .but that one yesterday january our coldest month theoretically unusual scale and season .
no i wouldn’t associate turkey for being a region of producing destructive tornadoes but there it was yesterday..

bizarre year for us in the last 24 months intense storms and flash flooding is frequent however my deeper thoughts of flooding is this is a man made problem where areas of intense flooding occur in recent heavily densed construction areas where the heavy rainfall has nowhere to run . record levels of snowfall accumulation in populated mountain regions .. i guess if it continues we will have to adapt because mother nature wont adapt to us.

Here's an interesting article about coming attractions.

So far, our forecasts are showing extended bitter cold like we had last winter.  I see about 80 hours (Tue-Fri) below freezing instead of 6-8 days.  Then a bounce back to upper 40s and above for several days.

Tonight didn't get as cold as forecast and they've adjusted today, so maybe next week won't be as cold either.  Or maybe colder.

Our low was 0.9 °F at 12:32 am.  The wind shifted to the south and by dawn the temperature was 20 °F.  Currently it's risen to 34 °F/

Similar rise. I can't count how many daily lows occur at strangest hours. Often the low occurs just before midnight other times right on midnight. So the low temperature for 2 different days can occur within a few minutes of the midnight hour.
