Day 11 (I think) of overcast skies. And:

There is a slight chance (20 percent) for clouds to scatter out Thursday afternoon, but it looks like it would be a brief time period.

Global warming? Ya right, where? Bloody frickin hell from one extreme to the other, now it's clear but -20 and 30K winds. It's so cold, the fuel oil line to my shop froze, no furnace. Arg!

Astrophotography blowout sale...coming soon, and I haven't even imaged anything yet.

But seriously...happy new year, come on summer.

Cheers

This morning it is currently -10C with 5-10cm of snow expected.

The weather warning for today: In the Poprad district, wind is expected in SOME PLACES on the mountains, above the forest belt,
which reaches a short-term (in impacts) speed of 30 - 37 m/s (110 - 135 km/h)
and/or an average speed of 20 - 24 m/s (70 - 85 km/h), i.e. up to a gale.
On the ground the wind is only supposed to be 7 m/s.

I will not be surprised if sometime today there is a call that a tourist has decided to go climbing and they want us to come save them...

Astronomers learn patience and impatience at the same time.
Hopefully the skies change for the better soon.

Supposed to reach 5 F this morning. (Cold for here) Orion sure looks great though.

[pakarinen]

Four inches of snow on the ground so far this morning, supposed to keep snowing until tonight.

[Mike Q]

It is now definitely a bit on the chilly side.

If you go back to the climate scientist warnings from the 1980’s, weather extremes are exactly what was predicted. Everyone was too busy trying to convince themselves that it was a hoax. North America and Europe could go into deep freeze due to the disruption of the AMOC. The warm water current that pumps heat from the equatorial warm waters of the Caribbean to the North Atlantic Ocean.

A climate scientist was a consultant to the movie, “the day after tomorrow “

That scenario is realistic although the film makers sped up the rate. It would be a long slow freeze. Disruption of the AMOC is already occurring.

I have had exactly 15 minutes on Orion this year. He will probably be gone long before i get to see him again

I'll see your 15F and raise you a -29.2C, way too cold for AP. You can see the two concrete slabs I placed and leveled, yet to be used.

Just going to stay inside and play with my new 3D printer.

Thats not 15F.... the 15 is current windspeed. The 4 on the right is the temp and the number above the 15 is the windchill. But you can still claim the win because you are definitely colder. Down here Canada in English translates to place that is damn cold.

A balmy -2°F this morning, but clear. Don't want to think about the windchill since I have some errands to run later.

[Ylem]

32F and icy rain, yucky.

[helicon]

About 6" of snow today. Not sure how much more. Snow and freezing rain tomorrow.

[Kilohertz]

-8C and 6" of snow overnight and today, more tonight.

ARG!

[Lady Fraktor]

22 cm of snow yesterday, 2-5 mm of rain forecast today, 5 cm of snow forecast for tomorrow...
I am glad my week off starts at noon today

[pakarinen]

Thin stratus deck now, but another 2-3 inches of snow coming tonight.

[Ylem]

More snow tomorrow, maybe 1-3" here near the coast, more inland and in the mountains.

[Kilohertz]

Another 6" today, snowfall warning in effect overnight. I'll be out again plowing tomorrow. Arrived home today to find we had even more snow, had to get out the big guns.

Come on summer.

cheers
