School kids will be eagerly waking up to find, as the open their curtains/blinds/etc., no snow on the ground this morning in Cookeville, TN. Ventured out at 5:15 a.m. for an observation and found a cloudy sky with .05" in my CoCoRaHS rain gauge and not much else. The morning temperature is 39°...hope all of them did their homework last evening. *Latest Radar Information*
FROM THE BLOGS
- My good buddy, Dustin, over at East TN Weather has a 'False Alarm' post
- Another good friend, Eddie, has a post at Jackson Weather about the Arctic Blast headed our way early next week. We're talking highs only in the upper teens to lower 20's for us here in Cookeville.
- Tom Skilling at WGN-Chicago, talks about their snowy winter as they pass 2 feet in measurable snow this season. Top 5 snowiest season in the last 124 years.
- Anthony Watts, from Watts Up With That, has a post from Dr. Richard Keen (from the Univ. of Colorado) concerning temperatures at Coal Creek Canyon, CO. Very interesting read.
We may see some precipitation before noon. Don't think it will amount to much. The next shot for precip comes on Friday night into Saturday with Saturday being chilly and wet. Possible snow again through Saturday night. The Arctic blast is set to arrive early next week with another interesting snow event around Monday night into Tuesday. Stay tuned on this.
