Valentines Storm update 2/14/14

Last night when I turned in I thought the storm was a bust. However, when I got up this morning we had indeed gotten some snow. At 2pm light snow continues to fall on the NEK. Snow totals from around the region are between 6-14 inches with some other parts of the state recording up to 2 feet of snow! The highest total from around the NEK that I could find was 14 inches in Averill. Here in Island Pond we’ve received 8.5″ so far. The wind is really blowing it around creating white out conditions during some of the heavier gusts.

I was hoping to see the 24″ mark covered on thewebcam snow stake, but we didn’t manage to get enough for that. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow….

Winter Storm Warning for NEK

The NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning from 10 am on Thursday February 13th through 1 pm on Friday February 14th. The track of the storm has trended west over the past few days, resulting in more snow forecast for the area. Just about everyone in the NEK should receive between 6-12 inches of snow before the storm winds down on Friday.

I also wanted to mention that we had a 50 degree spread between our morning low, -22, and our high of 28 this afternoon.

Longer days

We are getting more daylight now that we are closing in on mid February. The sun is also getting a lot stronger. The stronger sun is really noticeable when getting in to a car that has been sitting in the sun on a cold day like today. It’s not as frigid in the car as it was during the same type of day in the beginning of January.

Here’s an image from our webcam at around 5:30pm yesterday. A month ago it would have been dark at that time.
