That's because your "HIGH" temp will recorded right after midnight, then it is all downhill from there. We are under a WINTERSTORM WATCH now.

[rgreen4]

Well, actually I think it's the overnight low which is actually normally around 4 AM. Currently just after midnight it's 64F. It will probably get colder than 52F after the sun comes up, but not by much, and then warm up around mid afternoon again to 52F. The overnight low tomorrow night is forecast to be 32F.

[coastie65]

64 degrees may well be your High temp for the day, as the day starts at midnight as far as the daily readings go, well the clock too. I got 31 degrees at the moment and nothing falling as yet. There was a Light Snow & Rain mix at around 9:30 last night, but it has moved out. Still under a WINTER STORM WATCH though, through tomorrow.



UPDATE OOPS !! I just checked and we are under a WINTER STORM WARNING until noon tomorrow.

[rgreen4]

We had two bands of thunderstorms pass through last night. I actually got a phone call from Emergency Managment Services about a tornado sighted just east of the 23 mile marker on I-75. I live closer to the 32 mile marker and never heard a thing. We had heavy rain from both bands, it is very wet and windy this morning, March had indeed come in like a Lion down here this year.

It is currently 43F, and was 37F at 8:30.

[coastie65]

Last time i looked at the Radar, it looked like the Low was spinning right over Central Georgia. I don't get calls, they just send me an email, although In the case of a Tornado, I think they would use reverse 911.

Hi Coastie

Hope you're doing well, my friend.

Wow. Looks like you're in for a real bad storm. Buckle up.... you and your fam stay safe, ok?

[Adama]

We've been having rain throughout the night, and it's still raining. Not hard rain, just steady.

They say it's going to continue for the next few days. Yay! we really needed the rain. :)

[coastie65]

Hey Adama, Good to see you are getting some much needed rain out there. It is about 31 Degrees and light sleet & snow have started falling. Should change to all snow later if not sooner.

Nobody around here is planning on going anywhere. We are in Hibernation mode. To think, Thursday & Friday we had springlike temps. I guess Feb. went out like a lamb and March is coming in like a lion.

[coastie65]

Temp is about 30 degrees and it is Snowing. We have about 2 1/2 " - 3" on the deck rail. The WINTER STORM WARNING is posted for 9 PM to 12 noon tomorrow. The breeze has picked up a bit as well, but not enough for blowing snow..........yet. The storm is supposed to be deepening, so we'll just wait and see what nature brings.

[coastie65]

Getting pretty windy now and is still snowing, all in all pretty messy. The lights just flashed on and off. Sure don't need a power failure.

[snorg]

A tropical heat wave, here in the banana belt.
35 today & 41 tomorrow.
Time to catch some rays, dont forget the sunblock.

[coastie65]

Temp fell off from around 30 degrees to arund 22 degrees last night, so the snow changed from a heavier compacting snow to a light fluffy snow. It was still snowing this morning, but has quit, at least for now anyway.

[Tech4me]

Good morning Coastie . How many inches now.....?.. Its kind of cold here too .... Just warm up when sun comes out 50*F ....

(BTW....get a bowl of pho...and enjoy snow........ drive carefully though..)

[rgreen4]

SNORG - talking about getting rays at those temps? Look out for the guys in white coats holding a jacket with extra long arms.

COASTIE - when it reaches your belt buckle, it's time to stay home. I remember once when I lived in Lynchburg, Va and we had three 12" snowfalls, each 6 days apart. The temp never warmed up enough to melt anything. I have Windy my first Dobe, and we all know how long their legs are. When I let her out after the third one, she went down and jumped at the foot of the stairs and only her head was above the snow. She would leap from spot to spot kind of like a puppy would do, finally just sqatted and did her business and then came back. Later in the afternoon, I had to go out and coax her into it, she was really unhappy with it.

In spots it drifted over my side fence (6 foot fence). I was glad that was the only time like that while I was there.

[smax013]

Cold...very, very cold. Temps in the teens with wind chill near 0. At least it is sunny and clear.

[coastie65]

Hey Tech, It was still snowing pretty good at 7:30 this morning then moved out pretty quick later on and the sun came out. It is overcast and snowing again now though. We got about 8" and maybe could pickup an additonal inch. About 3 O'clock this morning we had near Blizzard contions briefly. I had to get up and I heard the wind, which was blowing hard enough that i noticed the green flashes of light from ST Elmo's Fire ( Static Electricity ) or transformers popping, although the latter is usually bluish. Haven't seen that since Isabel passed through.

[coastie65]

About 27 degrees here and about as warm as it will get today. The wind sure doesn't help much either. Looking for 11 degrees tonight. !http://forums.pcworld.com/legacyimages/

Well we had our Snow Storm last week. The kids next door built a huge snowman in front of their mailbox, so I guess the mailman appreciated that. Yesterday, the temp reaqched 78 degrees and it is currently 81 degrees. There is no snow to be found as it is long gone. Tomorrow promises some more spring weather as well, before we have a cool down down to more seasonable temps.
