and then there was more

-3.7° last night; yesterday we got close to the melting point, all the way up to -1.6°. The snow has already let off this morning, which is earlier than forecast, tho' college is closed until 1pm and all classes are closed through 3:30... oh wait, it's snowing again.

On the other hand, we've already hit yesterday's high temperature, and it's only 10:30.

Mmmm, zero-content weather blogging. I should go study Japanese instead.


Remember These?

Huh, micro-climates are so bizarre. My car said it was 37+ when I went to Q's yesterday. It also kept saying it was 32 on our street and the streets 3 blocks from us (where the streets were still icy), and 34 everywhere else on the island (where they weren't). It's definitely above freezing for us now, most of the new snow (about an inch) is gone from the cars.

We had two inches new today; being up at the top of a tallish hill makes a big difference. Plus, our house in particular is sheltered in this little nook in the hill; we'll often have snow after everybody else's melts, and our little stub of a street will stay icy long after everyone else's, even in our own neighbourhood, has gotten dry.

We're at our high so far for the day; -0.7°C. SO CLOSE! We're actually seeing a little melting within a few feet of the house now (that's new) and also some melting were sun would theoretically be if it weren't so cloudy. And trees are shedding snow, so even that little bit of metabolism is enough to push the snow over the edge into melting.

It's been another very, very busy day at the bird feeders, too. Particularly the hummingbird feeder, which I refilled this morning since it was warm enough that it wouldn't quickly melt.
