goose Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Finally, finally, FINALLY we got some snow! The dry warm weather has been nice, but the mountains needed snow badly. 5" to 6" here in the foothills means twice that up high. Ski areas were desperate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 It’s storming, but I think most of it has passed my part of Central AR. There was some heavier rain with some thunder and lightning not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Arkansas got some snow a few days ago! In my town, it was just a blanket that washed away in the rain afterwards, but as a Californian, it was very fun to play in and watch for a little bit. I took lots of pictures, and i had fun doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Winter is coming.... After a wonderfully mild November and December, snow is en route. Forecasts vary from 4 to 10". Edited January 9 by Principled Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 20+ mph winds right now, and we’re expecting to get a winter storm next week with some of the lowest temperatures that Central AR has seen in a very long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 12" plus of new snow dumped last night. After 2 hours of shoveling* the wife and I had a great snow shoe hike in the early sun with the dog. I love a bluebird morning after a big storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 8" or more coming at me. High winds, then sub-zero temps! How wonderful that my snow blower's pull cord quit on me. The new one will arrive in 2-3 days.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Wife went skiing today and said it was nice till about noon, when the wind picked up. It's tricky skiing right with 18" of powder on top of a 10" base. Bring your rock skis if you're going off paste! One of my students didn't and tore up his brand new skis yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BastillePark Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 TFC. Too and cold. You can figure out the rest. It's 16 degrees here out west and where some of my family lives in the midwest it's only 5 degrees colder. Plus it's really windy. Un. Called. For.

Principled Man Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 - 8° right now. High of 1° today, low of -15° tonight. Negative numbers will pass in about 8 days, and we'll be above 32° after that. Having late January be in the mid to upper 30's is a good sign that February won't be so bad. I'm not placing any bets, though.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Crazy wind storm last night led to downed trees and limbs all around town, including the neighbors behind us. On neighbor's huge ivy-covered tree split and dropped into another neighbors yard, luckily getting hung up in an overgrown 100yo apple tree. It fell across power lines, which then pulled over a power pole at the edge of our driveway. We were without power for 15 hrs, starting at 1:30 am. The upside is that the tree cutters left the wood for me to cut up as firepit fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 It’s been a beautiful and quiet snowy day here in Central Arkansas. It’s been snowing since around 1pm, 7 hours later and there’s about 3” of snow on the ground. The temperature has been no more than 20° all day. 1. My dearest walking around the untouched blanket 2. A little while after we paused our movie to play with the snow. 3. An hour of light snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 It snowed this morning when I was still sleeping, and it’s gorgeous outside. I walked around to take pictures. https://www.tumblr.com/lastcupofsorrow/739602048882966528/morning-glory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
