Good Tuesday bloggers,
We have gone from the deep freeze to the freezer. We are about to go back to the deep freeze, but a warm up is showing up.
Now, it has been below 32° since 5:25 PM last Thursday, January 22nd. It has been cold enough to cover many ponds, lakes and creeks with ice. I was born and raised in Kansas City and 99.9% of the time the ice on the lakes is NOT thick enough to walk on. And this is one of those winters. Remember how warm it was during the first 10-15 days of the month?
The ice needs to be greater than 3" thick for a person to walk on. No way is that the case around here. I went to school in Madison, WI. That is a location where it is usually good to walk on and even snowmobile. One of the years I saw cars drive on Lake Mendota which meant the ice was nearly a foot thick.
Details on the Arctic air, the warm up and any snow are in the 4 minute video below.
Have a great rest of your week.
Stay healthy and warm
