Weather in your area 2022
Last week the temperatures in NWTN were warm, in the 60s-70s F by the end of the week. A mess of strong storms passed through late Friday night. My new weather alert radio announced a suspected tornado passing north of town, but I am pretty sure it remained a funnel cloud and did little damage if any. It is currently in the low 30s F and we are expecting to get a little bit of snow today and a lot of snow later in the week.
EDIT: The ground is currently covered by snow!

Re: Weather in your area 2022
The last thing you guys need is more severe weather, glad to see that funnel cloud did not do much.
This weekend we got our first cold blast in quite some time; December was a pretty warm month with highs on many days at 60F or above (had some 80F days as well).
On Saturday morning, an arctic front passed through dropping the temp during the day with a low around 10F on Sunday morning; also brought a dusting of snow which didn't last long. Good thing is this airmass is moving out fairly soon and we'll have a warming trend the next few days, followed by another cold snap around Thursday with cold temps again. But that won't last long either and we'll be back in the 60s by Saturday.

Re: Weather in your area 2022
We got about that much snow here in NWTN starting Thursday morning, and it snowed most of the day Thursday. It stayed well below freezing until this morning, and now the snow has melted. Rain is moving in this evening, but it is staying cool and we are expecting it to be below freezing again on Sunday night.

6 inches and counting in our area; about 8 a little further to the north. Most locations have had 4-6 inches on average.
Temps are expected to slowly get back to above freezing but overnight lows will be well below that the next 3-4 nights. Expecting 60s again for the highs next weekend.

Re: Weather in your area 2022
If you have never seen an ice storm, imagine everything being coated in a layer of ice about 3-5 mm thick. Car doors cannot be opened. Solid surfaces cannot be walked on safely. Trees are weighed down so that their limbs droop to the ground, cracking or breaking, and sometimes pulling down power and phone lines. Power lines themselves are coated in ice, which weighs down on them and can break them if they get heavy enough.
It may melt on Sunday.

Re: Weather in your area 2022
Good to see it was only an hour at your place, no electricity in cold weather = no good. Worst storm for us was back in Dec. '07. Two to three rounds of freezing rain in a large swath of the state resulted in power being out anywhere from 3 days (for us; the low-end) to about a month in the country. Lines kept coming down pretty much everywhere. If you didn't lose power then you basically won the ice storm lottery.

Not sure if I'll be able to join FNF tomorrow night because of this, but we have a generator now, so we'll see.

Of note were tornadoes that caused damage in Round Rock, TX and other parts of the Austin-Round Rock metro; not unheard of but very rare for that part of the country to get severe weather.
