(49°) temperature differential today. We went from 8° to 57° here in northeast Valentine. It's turned into a great day for grilling in front of the Super Bowl.

Not as much as you but we had a high of 76 and a low of 36.

Doesn't need to be summer here to be dry. 82F difference tween temp and dew today for 4% RH. How I went so many years without a whole home humidifier I'll never know.

I had to get one of those big humidifiers otherwise everything you touch you become like Zeus and it gets old after a while.

I got rid of my carpet and now have concrete overlay so fixed that problem. My big issue is lizard skin and the itching that goes with it. Even with a 57F inside dew, I still feel a bit scratchy when it gets so dry out and running a heater.

Locusts and pestilence will be arriving later this week.

Didn't want to start another thread so I'll flood one and all with it here.

Me and some of my neighbors got some snow yesterday evening.

It blew past us, we only got about 2" northwest side of Chicago. Much more blew in further south thru Missouri, central Illinois, northern Indiana and points east.

Blowing like crazy here. these are the times I wonder if my weather station is upright even though it is weighted down will 300 pounds of sand bags.

I do believe the wind is making my rain gauge tip

If it's on a tripod as it use to be, you can bet stronger wind will shimmy the bucket causing just that. That's just one reason why I ditched my VP2 bucket on my ISS which is also on a tripod.

When spring arrives here, if anyone asks me how the winter was, I’ll probably say, “Long and hard.” We’ve had a lot of subzero temperatures, wind, and frequent, though modest, snowfalls.
But, at least so far, it’s been a “moderate” winter, according to the Climate Journal published online by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The DNR has a point system index measuring snowfalls and temperatures at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport to rate the severity of winters in this area. This year our winter has racked up 71 points. The “moderate winter” rating runs from 55 to 158 points, so we are in the low end. The most severe winter was 1984, with 236 points, while the mildest was in 1931 with 12 points.
Well, maybe it’s my age, but I still think it’s been an awfully long, cold winter, and I’m ready for spring.

I think it is an age thing. Even though I'm in Florida these winters get tougher all the time. Our recent cold spat had my fingers numb. Never used to be like that. Body just doesn't want to work when it's in the 20's and 30's. A couple 80 degree days this week had the body feeling better.

I have no idea how I lived up north for 25 years.

Amen to that. Haven't lived in a cold climate since 1979. That said, we have a slim chance of snow down to the valley floor here Wednesday night. Seriously...

69 F for 20 Feb isn't a record but it is a beautiful day with gentle breeze and blue skies. Next week, not so much.

Another Rock 'em Sock 'em couple of days ahead, winter fighting with spring to see who wins.

30 degrees colder than this time yesterday. 63 at noon Sunday; 33 at noon Monday.

A dramatic look at the contrast in temperatures as one of the winter's coldest cold fronts makes its way across Oklahoma during the early morning hours of Feb. 22 from the mid-teens in the panhandle to as much as well into the 60's. The stormiest weather is expected in the southern and southeastern parts of Oklahoma. This front is expected to have a low of 9 here, so well above -10 from the lowest registered at my weather station in mid Feb. 2021. That unusually long cold spell was quite phenomenal. It will be interesting to see if these unusually strong cold fronts will continue to blast through later in March.

Here is another, earlier look from yesterday just north of you in Nebraska and Kansas. Quite a range:

Wow, a genuine, honest to goodness FROPA here! Dropped 16F in twenty minutes! Nice to get a little rain too. $\:D/$

CW2274 · « **Reply #95 on:** February 23, 2022, 06:41:23 PM »

Sorry, a little giddy here, but an hour and a half ago it was sunny and 60F. Now, complete overcast, ceiling very low and 39F, unfortunately only 0.03" of rain. That's an air mass flop we don't see too often. Damn, I love being a PWS owner.

Bunty · « **Reply #96 on:** February 25, 2022, 01:40:37 AM »

It sleeted, rather than snowed here. Interesting how it easily accumulated on the streets and sidewalks but not so much on the dead grass. From clear skies, it may get down to 8 tonight, tied with the coldest for January here. It's supposed to get up to the 60's and 70's next week.

After snow on Thursday/Friday the bottom drops out of the thermometer for a few days. Could be getting into the 50s by Sunday/Monday.
