The picture above is what we awakened to this morning, with 19F temperature. This came on the heels of several pleasant days: the kids could walk to/from school and I enjoyed an outside run.
A far departure from the Florida temperate conditions we had every Christmas.
You won’t be seeing as many “Colorado Discoveries” posts this time of year, mainly because it’s been colder here. We aren’t spending as much time outside.
….doesn’t mean I never have to see snow again, right? Or drive in the snow again? (As promised in my previous post, here’s the story of why I’ll never buy a Ford Mustang north of the Mason/Dixon line!) On last weekend’s trip to Omaha, I was fortunate to travel in between major winter weather systems. … Read more
Most of this text is stolen from a 21 November 2008 blog post about the crazy weather experiences we’ve had everywhere we’ve lived since we’ve been married. At the end of that blog post, I posed the question: “What will Bellevue, Nebraska bring?” Now that we’re wrapping up our Nebraska tour and headed toward our … Read more
Greetings from Norway, I mean, Nebraska! On Thursday night, after a couple days of melting ice and cold nights, and after a weak cold front moved through, saturated air near the surface brought foggy conditions to our neighborhood. On Friday morning, I saw our trees covered in heavy frost. From 2010 01 15 Rime Ice … Read more
A billion years ago, in one of my meteorology classes, I was taught the temperature ranges at which snowflakes will form their different potential shapes. I remember getting tested on the information, too. “At what temperature ranges will capped columns form?” Heck if I know now, but I can now find out with the click … Read more
Now that I’m home, I’m slowly getting back to normal. One of the things that was on my mind while I was away was setting up one of our webcams (that we used to keep in touch during my deployment) as a weather webcam, that connects to our home weather station. So here you go. … Read more
The kids (and that means Dave too) were enjoying their first “workable” snow of the season. What does “workable” mean? It means snow angels that didn’t blow away, plus snowmen and snow forts! Enjoy the slideshow!
…More Nebraska weather fun. A cold front came through and plummeted our temperature from 53F at 9pm to 32F at 11pm. It got up to 60F today! No jackets! We can see our lawn again! Perhaps today should have been the day to take down the Christmas lights, while we could have stood on the … Read more
We awakened this morning to about an inch of snow here. Yay! I leave tomorrow for Florida for my pre-deployment training and I was hoping to see some snow before I left. We had the boys bundled up and out the door around 8am. That’s Jacob throwing snow at Howie on the left. Timmy in … Read more
It’s friggin’ cold here. Highs in the 30s, lows in the 20s…winds 15-20 knots, gusting into the 30s. It’s been like this since Thursday. It’s going to be like this for a while. Okay okay okay…I’m a wuss. I grew up on the coast. When you live near water, cold temperature spells are pretty short-lived. … Read more
