Snow falling early this morning.
Our road looking south and north.
More snow.
The sun was out this afternoon; the wind was blowing, the snow drifting.
Temperatures reached almost 30 degrees this afternoon.

Brrrr....II
During the second week of January, 'normal' temperatures prevailed. Tuesday, January 14, was warm enough (temperatures in the mid 50's) for me to put on a sweatshirt and clean up the trash/recyclables along our road.
This week, temperatures have plunged and snow has fallen. A record amount of snow fell on Tuesday, January 21. A total of 5.3 inches of snow was recorded at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport. The previous record for this date was 3.8 inches which was set in 2007.
With Tuesday's snowfall, a total of 27.7 inches of snow has been recorded this winter at CVG. The normal snowfall for the season by January 21 is 9.5 inches and the typical winter here receives 22.1 inches.
We still have day time temperatures in the mid-teens; night temperatures in the single digits, threatening to go below zero.
Brrrrr.....

Brrrr...
First the snow, then the Minnesotian cold temperatures!
We woke this morning to temperatures in the sub-zeros. Minus 4, the thermometer said. Today and tomorrow will give this area some of the coldest temperatures experienced since the first week of January 1994. Wind chill, with wind gusts up to 35 miles an hour, could make the great outdoors feel as if the temperatures were as low as 35 degrees below zero. A wind chill warning is in effect for most of the region from 4 a.m. today (Monday) to 5 p.m. Tuesday.
So far, this fall-winter period has produced 17 inches of snow, according to figures at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Most winters the area receives a total of 22.1 inches of snow....
Speaking of CVG, our Friday flight routed through Houston on the way to Ixtapa, Mexico was canceled. The alternate flight we could have taken early (6 a.m.) Sunday morning, going through Chicago, was also canceled...
Tuesday, the weather will begin to warm with a high around 9 degrees. For this time of year, the normal high is 39 degrees. The normal low is 23 degrees. Yes, it is a bit chilly!

Snow
We awoke this morning to a winter wonderland....
Snow will be falling at least through 1:00 this afternoon.
We are currently under a winter storm warning until 7:00 p.m.
The front walk was shoveled earlier; new snow has once more covered it.
