Aerie Weather Report, January 12, 2010

We started getting some light snow just before dark on Monday and that has continued off and on throughout the night and again today. The accumulation has been somewhere around the inch or inch-and-a-half mark. Certainly nothing to write home about.

The wind shifted overnight from the WSW back to the NW and the Blue Blob reappeared on the weather.com radar and it remains in place despite the snow showers blown off the Great Lakes that flow past. I'm now convinced that it (the Blob) is a product of winds being pushed aloft as they encounter Armenia Mountain.

The good news on the weather front is that we may be in line for a January Thaw later this week. Accuweather says it could be nosing 40 degrees on Friday while weather.com is a little more conservative. Both say we should crack the old freezing mark on Wednesday--Thursday for sure. That will be the first time in several weeks we've been north of the 32 degree mark.

Today's high was only 19.9 degrees while the low was 14.2 at 7 AM.

I am getting worried that July 4th is going to see that blue blob still sitting there....
