I day till Halloween and a Halloween warm up!!

1 Day Till Halloween!!!!!

We are getting close now!!!!! :-)

So I bet you all would like to know just how the Halloween outlook is coming?? Right? Well we are going to be in a slight warm up Starting as soon as today!! and on Halloween we are looking at an expected high of around 66*. So the trick or treaters should be nice and warm in there customs!!!!! As well as all the parents!! I'M sure the parents are Happy about that!! :-)

But with this warm up when could we start to get back down into the cooler temperatures?? I have that answer as well. I have been looking at the latest model runs and it looks like we could see a cool down by November 7th into the 8th and we could see our next best chance of rain by November 6th as of now. But you all know this is a little far out yet to give a for sure forecast so I will watch this and keep you posted as I always do!!!!! :-)

Now one more thing. With all this talk of a warm Halloween we can not forget about a Freeze warning still out for Carroll County. Take a look below.

A FREEZE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM TO 10 AM EDT THURSDAY.

REMEMBER...A FREEZE WARNING MEANS TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT...ARE IMMINENT OR HIGHLY LIKELY IN AND CLOSE TO THE WARNED AREA.

This means a freeze warning is out for Carroll County from 4:00am till 10:00am Thursday. And any counties nearby Carroll county could see temperatures drop down to 32 or below degrees F*. Here in Tippecanoe County I have our low of 34*.

So after a chilly start today we will warm up for Halloween and a few days after. And then by late next week we should start to drop back down. I will keep a close eye on this and I will keep you updated..... Now go and make today a great one!!!!! :-) I will see you soon.....

Whats the Halloween High?????


2 Days till Halloween!!!!!

2 days and now what is the Halloween high going to be????? That is the question..... Well I have been looking at the model maps and as of right now we are looking at an October trick!!!!! How is this an October trick?? Well our High yesterday was only 44* and we should be at 60* on Avg for this time of year. And we could be back to Above Avg as soon as Halloween day! Now me I would like snow on Halloween and I know a lot of you would think I'M crazy but when it comes to snow I will stay up all night and track it. I love snow that much!!!!! But with highs going back up to the high 50s and mid 60s I think snow is going to be on hold for a few and by hold I mean not this week for sure but our wintry year I think still looks good!!!!! :-) I'M still sticking to my forecast!!!!! Now Halloween is looking to be maybe 64* and this could still change..... I will keep a close eye on this so we will know just what custom to where lol..... I do think we can put thoughs winter coat customs away this Halloween! As much fun as it would have been to have snow on Halloween at least the Kids will be better off and by that I mean less of a chance of getting sick well other then off of candy!!!!! :-)


So Happy Halloween and the count down continues..... I will check back soon.....Have a great day.....

Halloween is coming and did we have snow?????

That's right it is now count down to Halloween!!!!! 3 Days now!!!!! This is a picture of my Rat terrier Dobby, on the left and my sisters Chihuahua Willie, on the right. It is now more like a tradition that we take a picture of them for Halloween Christmas and Thanksgiving Well I guess I went out of order there but you get the point!!
We also had some snowflakes last night nothing like what we see in the picture above but they were dime size but did not last long I would say 2 maybe 3 min. By the time I stoped looking at the beautiful flakes to go get my camera they were gone! I guess you could say I got stuck in the moment!! LOL..... But it was nice to see some much loved snow!Now we must and I do mean MUST bundle up out there it is a COLD one even right now at 2:47pm I have a temp of only 44.6* without a wind chill! I would do like the picture above and stay warm..... Not just us but your Pets to like you see ours at the top right by the fireplace..... Have a great day everybody I will see you soon.....

What a wild day.....



WOW what a wild day yesterday was right????? Windy and chilly was all the hubba.. But there was no reports to the NWS from Indiana I was shocked! But that dose not mean anything because we did still have some wild wind as in Haloween stuff blowing down the street and some good size tree limbs down in the yard and that was enough for me.....I did however find some high wind reports at Forest city, IA, of 62 Mph. and another from Cambria, NY, of 60 Mph. Some of it you could say was cool like when the low level wind shear made what looked like a mini tornado..... Made out of leaves.....

Now we have a hard FREEZE to talk about... We went from a wind advisory yesterday to a FREEZE WARNING today!!!!! That's right a Freeze warning here is some of what the NWS has to say.....


...FREEZE WARNING IN EFFECT FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ILLINOISOVERNIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING....


CLEARING SKIES AND DIMINISHING WINDS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TODROP BELOW FREEZING ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS OVERNIGHTAND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. A WIDESPREAD HARD FREEZE ISANTICIPATED...WITH LOW TEMPERATURES BOTTOMING OUT IN THE MIDDLETO UPPER 20S.


That's right LOW LOW Temperatures is going to be the main thing for the next few days. As I'M expecting our high for today to be only 45* and a chilly low of only 31* then tomorrow a high of only 52 and a whooping low of only 23* CHILLY!!!!! So A hard Freeze I think is in order..... Grab another blanket for your bed and I think we should have a HOT COCOA ADVISORY..... But we will have to talk to Mike Prangley, about that..... LOL..... So one thing I just can't say enough is bring your pets inside this is getting close to that time of year again where pets get Freezing cold and we don't want that.....


Now we can all brace for the cold weather on the way and hold on ..............................................Halloween is only 4days away!!!!! WOW!!!!! That means Nov, is getting closer and closer. So how is Halloween looking????? well after all this cold weather there may be a slight warm up not anything to major. Looking clear at this point and time as well.....


So everybody keep warm and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!
