Elementary Meteorology

Tuesday, December 05, 2006

When I woke up this morning, I looked outside to see if it had snowed. All that was there was a light snow dusting on my car, so I figured it wouldn't be too bad outside. I couldn't have been more wrong. It was freezing out today. I couldn't find the "high" temperature, but the "low" temperature recorded was 12*F. Also, I had to scrape ice off my windows of my car. Telling me even more how cold it really was. I stayed inside most of the day, but when I did go outside, I noticed it was still very cold and no precipitation was going on, although it was cloudy. Tonight, the forcast doesn't call for any snow, as you can see from the image above. However, it will be VERY cold. The highest temperature predicted for tonight will be 16*F. (That is quite a change from our 60*F weather last week!) Tomorrow, Wednesday, snow showers are predicted from about 12pm through the night, with temperatures in the mid/upper 20's (although it will feel like about 20*F). In any event, it is time to bundle up and break out the long john's, because it only gets worse from here!

    Hi Ashley.

    It sure was cold. Any explanation for it? Cloud cover maybe? Cold advection?
