It's a New Year
This past week was kinda insignificant once the year rolled over. OSNW3 measured 35.6" of snowfall in December which kept us very busy around here. More info on December's snowfall can be found here. January has been a different story so far with the year coming in almost exactly how it did last year. Measured the same amount of snow on the same day, a whopping 0.2" on Jan 2, and measured the same depth of snow, 8". The difference being that the forecast is not calling for a major warm-up as we experienced the early part of Jan 2008 when the temp rose above freezing for seven days in a row (Jan 6-11) topping out at 42.8° on Jan 7. Back to this year. Freezing rain did make an appearance on Saturday, Jan 3 as OSNW3 measured 0.14" of liquid with an ice coating of 0.1" on everything outdoors. Here's to more snow this season, hopefully... CHEERS!

This snowfall got the Winter Storm Warning tag from the NWS Green Bay, which results in OSNW3 giving it the attention of real time updates within it's own entry. Details at Snowstorm - Dec 30 (radar/daily movie)

Since the weather has been lame (you know, with the rain and all) I decided to panorama the FOH this week. There is a small layer of ice on everything...

27th Straight Day with Measurable Snow at Marquette National Weather Service!!! Read more here and keep count with them. The ninth longest streak (12 days - Dec 3, 1995) is held dear to my heart as I was living there during my freshman year at NMU. I recall exaggerating to my family members later in life that I recalled seeing the sun only 20 days the entire school year.

NOAA Economics: The Economics and Social Benefits of NOAA Data and Products
It is often said that "NOAA is where science gains value for the Nation." The NOAA Economics web site is a central source of information on the economic value and use of NOAA's data & products, in both industry and society.
NOAA's environmental observations, analyses, data products, and services provide valuable information that is routinely used in decision making by consumers, industries, and policymakers. For instance, NOAA weather and climate data are used in countless industries, including agriculture, utilities, transportation, construction, engineering, health care, insurance, manufacturing, education, and tourism. In fact, the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that at least one-third of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product is weather and climate sensitive.

Hey--followed you back here from your comment on my Live Journal. I have a pretty large weather tag on my LJ but I tend to keep my blog locked to friends-only, just for privacy reasons--my photography entries are the only ones that are 100% public.
ReplyDeleteI have been known to make entries not unlike this one, on my own blog. I'm a big fan of doing screen-caps of the radar off the NOAA website.
