A rather uncomfortable shot of wintry weather will plow in later today. A Winter Weather Advisory was posted early this morning for us, effective from 6p through noon Friday.
Heretofore it looked like a typical wrap-around snow event that was going to drop an inch or so of snow, at least above the blue roof house. However, trends starting yesterday afternoon started to up totals a tad to 2", maybe even 3" around the top of Apple Creek Road. The National Weather Service is now wording it for 2-3" for us in the upper half, 1-2" down low by the time all is said and done.
But that's not the only problem. Temperatures will crash hard for a 48-hour period, much like the last event; once we drop below 32 degrees around supper time this evening, we won't cross above that until Sunday.
Yet one more problem will be strong winds coming in with all this wintry package. Wind chills go without saying, but with the saturated soils some trees could come down. There is increasing concern that the pair of dead locust trees right at our entrance could come down any time, with those chances obviously upped with the winds.
I'll update later this afternoon if there are any changes to the going forecast.
