I got some last minute supplies today before the temperature started to drop. We are still expecting one to three inches of snow tomorrow, just in time for me to go back to work. To add insult to injury, Friday’s low will be below zero which happens to be the time I get off work

Winter is finally coming
Tomorrow will have a high in the 60s. The next morning will be below freezing with highs in the 40s the rest of the week. A white Christmas is now unlikely, but temperatures will stay below freezing most of that week.
White Christmas
The best definition of White Christmas was an inch of snow on the ground on Christmas Day. The year I moved to Kansas it snowed the day after Thanksgiving and was still on the ground after New Year’s Day. I was out of town over Christmas, so I missed it. There has never been aContinue reading “White Christmas”
Warm, wet Thanksgiving
After tonight, a week long warming trend will keep temperatures above freezing for the rest of the month. Other than Thanksgiving Day, it will be dry too. Time to clean up the yard. There’s a lot of brush to cut.
SsssssssNO
For the second time this month, it tried to snow here. The first attempt didn’t even hit the ground before melting. Last night’s snow actually hit the ground and stuck to fields and cars even if it melted on the roads and in town. The next morning it could be seen on hay bales andContinue reading “SsssssssNO”
Snow tonight, gone tomorrow
The Weather Channel is calling for snow tonight. This is unusual for mid-November. While we really need snow to break the drought, this won’t help much. The ground is too warm for the snow to stick and even if it does, it will melt by tomorrow afternoon.
No longer exceptional, just extreme
According to droughtmonitor.unl.edu my place and most of Montgomery County are finally experiencing an extreme drought after eight weeks of exceptional drought status. For the first time since July there is green grass in the fields. It is raining and more rain is on the way. Maybe we can get to severe drought status byContinue reading “No longer exceptional, just extreme”
Last gasp of summer, really
The weather last week has been pleasant. You needed a jacket for morning’s and a t-shirt the rest of the day. That changes dramatically tomorrow afternoon when temperatures will drop to freezing by Friday. The long range forecast calls for highs below 50 and lows below freezing, in other words normal November weather. We areContinue reading “Last gasp of summer, really”
Rain has arrived
It looks like we may have gotten an inch of rain today. I slept through most of it. We may get more later this week. It may even be enough to lower our drought status from D4 (exceptional drought) to D3 (extreme drought). Regardless, it should help farmers with their winter wheat crop.
Rain lets up in time for Neewollah.
We got an inch and half of rain yesterday and this morning. It looks like clear weather for the rest of the week. The Queen Neelah events were held inside and the rest of the festival is outdoors. The creek beds are wet, but no water is flowing through them yet. Likewise the local springContinue reading “Rain lets up in time for Neewollah.”
