We thought we were going to break our sub freezing streak today that started on Jan 30 (close to 300 hours), but it looks like we might fall just short. Yesterday they were saying 34 for a high, now it's 30. If we don't get it today then we won't get it until next week.

Almost a half of month below freezing. Relentless.

We thought we were going to break our sub freezing streak today

I've noticed our actual temps have consistently been lower than forecasted (Wunderground-as close as the day prior), by 5 degrees or more. I don't think the meteorologists have this artic pattern built-in their models for STL. Perhaps they don't fully factor the snow cover, and the deep freeze in the ground. Even though it's been less cold lately, I feel the permafrost thru my shoes probably more than b/f. On the nightly walk, the dogs start their frostbite gimp sooner.

I swear the models don't factor that in snow pack correctly.

They are talking about warming up enough next week to melt a bunch of the snow we have, which is going to create another problem. They said we have up to 4" of moisture trapped in the snow pack. So if it warms and rains - yuck. More than yuck - flooded basements, rivers out of their banks.

And then we get pothole season.

And then we get pothole fixing season, which is the entire summer.

When you think about it the winter [expletive] this place up the entire 12 months of the year.
