December Observations

I thought i'd start a thread for obs. For this month i'll start it off. picked up 1.35in of the highly coveted liquid called RAIN yesterday. Also had a nice tstorm as part of that early yesterday AM

We recieved 1.02 inches of rain yesterday in my backyard. So far for the month i have had 1.23 for the month. Things in the long range looks to pick up.

Early early yesterday morning, Big thunder booms woke me and my dog up, then pissed off the wife,lol. We live on the south side of the river. We received about 1.00 of rain yesterday. Much needed!!

Lol I hear ya joereb. Woke my wife up too, she jumped straight up out of bed. She was like what was that. Lol, I'm like, a thunderstorm. First one in gosh, I don't know how long. Seriously about the longest period I ever remember w/o a storm.

Well, just as I figured, the clouds never broke up here today. It appears that it made it to 37 for a high temp, although back to 36 right now. Im now wondering if we may get stuck with the clouds overnight too, and consequently have trouble reaching the 20s. Seems like when moisture gets taped in these situations, if the sun can't scour it out during the day, it doesn't happen during the night. Makes for some busted forecasts

At 6 P.M. EST ,. Am at 38 degrees with PC Skies. Tv weatherman say between 29 to 31 for a low.

Its 37 here...go with a low around 30..cloud cover aint going anywhere.

Little late, but I saw my first flurry of the season this morning in Marshall County.

Awesome Coach, wish I'd seen it too.

My rain gauge clogged up, but after I got it to drain, it shows I received 1.01". Currently 32.8 and expecting a low of 27 if wind will calm. REAL happy to get some decent precipitation.

Well, just as I figured, the clouds never quite cleared out overnight. However, the layer was thin enough to allow the temp to drop to 29. Right now, the cloud deck is finally shifting off to the E.

dropped to 25 degrees here in Monterey. BRRRRR! I am all right with it though!! Add some snow and we be FINE!!

Good call Jeb. My low was 30.7. Had a steady light wind from the North all night which didn't help either.

Yeah, the wind didn't help matters either. Really kinda surprised that the cloud layer is thickening back up again a little. Its like it put the brakes on clearing out and is trying to back build a little. Hope it moves out tonight, i'd like to see another hard freeze

Im sitting at 39 at 7:54pm..Guidance suggests a low in the upper 20's. I think sky cover will allow a nocturnal low of 23-24.

I'm going to go for a low of 27 tonight. Winds are calm and temp at 35.1 @ 8:22pm.

37 here at 856 pm. Blasted clouds just won't go away going to say though, like MRX, that after midnight, they will clear out.

Down to 28 here as of 7:45 Central.

Yep coach, I remember these kind of nights in s middle TN. used to live in Shelbyville at the base of Horse Mtn. All the cold air drained right off the mtn on radiational cooling night. Same thing happens in E TN too, just that I now live on top of a ridge where the wind never quits lol and the cold air doesn't drain.

Ok, finally all clouds gone, but now the wind is picking up. Out of the N at 10 mph prob. Dont know exact speed, but I can hear it inside the house. I don't understand it, but on these nights, thats just how it is. I don't hardly get frost here bc the wind doesn't ever hardly stop. I get freezes, but just no frost, lol. Btw it's now 33 degrees

Was down to 29.4, now up to 31.1. Wind calm here (for the most part).

28 this AM. Not quite as cold as I expected, but still cold.

Yesterday low because of clouds got down to 33. This Morn clear 27 heavy frost.

Low of 26.8 here this morning. Called for 27.

26 this AM. Actually colder than yesterday, as there was no wind last night. Also had the heaviest frost , at least in my yard, so far this year.
