When it is crystal clear here, I can see the former radar building on top of Apple Orchard Mountain, at least 40 miles away. Right now the visibility is not all that much more than 40 yards here.

41 foggy,drizzly degrees here in Woodlawn…went to Green Bay for a couple of games a few years ago. Was so cold at game time that my beer was turning to slush in the can!! Great experience in Title Town,USA…

Very interesting statics about the consecutive days without measurable snow, KM. TYVM. Back to the here and now. I almost think that Scottie has transported me to dear ol’ London town. Very thick fog. 53*.

Interesting note about the Detroit at GB game. The Lions have played all their home games at an indoor stadium for decades, first the Silverdome (I think) and now Ford Field. But they are giving the Pack all they can handle so far, in snow. Maybe they ought to consider going to an outdoor stadium?

Green Bay is also on the south edge of the snow shield, so it’s not snowing all that hard. Heaviest is to north/northwest.

Chicago today has tied its longest streak on record of days with no measurable snow at 280. That’s 1 day longer than Roanoke (not a record here) — the clipper that dropped 0.4 inch here on March 5 got to Chicago a day earlier, and it hasn’t snowed measurably at either spot since.

Blacksburg’s streak without measurable snow is only 40 days, since Oct. 30.

It’s not sticking in Green Bay because they have pipes under the field keeping the surface somewhat warm…. they even commented about how green the pipes kept the grass….

Kevin…
Very correct..
Texas is a mirror of your fall…
we are getting our first taste in the AM..
Still hedgy on if anything white will come…
If you think there is an over reaction there
in the media , you should see this place..
You would think they are planning for an asteroid impact.
And the tv camera vans will drive 100 miles just to get some
flakes on camera..and report remote ..as much as anything to have
something to show at 5pm..(and in case it misses us altogether).
Could get in the 20-s here the next few nights….
Stay tuned…film at 11.

Actually, the December of 2009 started out fairly mild, and looked what happened on the 18th. The valley’s single largest December snowfall since 1969′s Christmas Day treat! I am in no way, shape or form saying that will happen this December, because it won’t, but January lurks and awaits us! This December is starting out much milder than any one I can remember since 1984, when I was a kid. I think as the months winds down, some days in the 30s-lower 50′s are thrown in the mix for daily highs and this pattern begins to disintegrate, the balance will be there, if not a hair warmer….but I assure you we will NOT end the entire month being 9+ degrees above normal! I guarantee it.
